The Phytoplankton Ecology of Wilson Inlet, Western Australia - Nitrogen Uptake

The phytoplankton uptake rates of ammonium, nitrate and urea on monthly, seasonal and annual time scales in Wilson Inlet were measured. In addition, it was determined whether phytoplankton community in Wilson Inlet was preferentially using a particular form of nitrogen and whether the ambient concentration of ammonium, nitrate or urea was limiting to phytoplankton biomass production.

本数据集测定了威尔逊湾（Wilson Inlet）在月、季及年时间尺度下，浮游植物（phytoplankton）对铵盐（ammonium）、硝酸盐（nitrate）与尿素（urea）的摄取速率。此外，本数据集还明确了该水域内的浮游植物群落是否优先利用某一特定形态的氮源，以及铵盐、硝酸盐或尿素的环境浓度是否会限制浮游植物的生物量生产。
