The Phytoplankton Ecology of Wilson Inlet, Western Australia - Nutrient Limitation of Phytoplankton Biomass

Nutrient deletion bioassays were applied over a one-year period to the phytoplankton community of Wilson Inlet. The bioassay data was supplemented with in situ measurements of physical and chemical variables to provide an indication of the nutrient status of the estuary and of the potential for the phytoplankton to become nutrient limited.

本研究针对威尔逊湾（Wilson Inlet）的浮游植物群落（phytoplankton community）开展了为期一年的营养物删除生物测定（nutrient deletion bioassays）。该生物测定数据辅以原位理化变量测量（in situ measurements）数据，用以表征该河口湾的营养盐状态，以及浮游植物出现营养限制的潜在可能性。
