While the recycled nutrients may support some phytoplankton growth, it ultimately feeds back to increased C. amurensis populations.
This upwelling can bring nutrients to the surface and lead to phytoplankton growth.
This phytoplankton growth can in turn support other marine organisms in the area.
Iron fertilization attempts to encourage phytoplankton growth, which removes carbon from the atmosphere for at least a period of time.
Increased nutrient and light availability result in rapid phytoplankton growth towards the end of winter.
Iron fertilization - proposed fertilization of oceans to stimulate phytoplankton growth.
It also affects coral by promoting phytoplankton growth which increases the number of filter feeding organisms that compete for space.
It is highly insoluble in sea water and is often the limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth.
The water clarity in summer is limited by phytoplankton growth and wave-agitation of the calcareous clay bottom.
When the water starts receding, the moving littoral reverses, concentrating nutrients and contributing to phytoplankton growth.
