Diel periodicity in uptake of nitrate and nitrite by reservoir phytoplankton
Diel changes in the rate of uptake by phytoplankton of nitrate labelled with nitrogen-15 were related to the diel changes in irradiation. Low rates of nitrate uptake were observed in samples incubated in the dark. This periodicity should be considered when modelling systems where nitrogen is the lim...

| Zusammenfassung: | Diel changes in the rate of uptake by phytoplankton of nitrate labelled with nitrogen-15 were related to the diel changes in irradiation. Low rates of nitrate uptake were observed in samples incubated in the dark. This periodicity should be considered when modelling systems where nitrogen is the limiting nutrient. |
