Inorganic carbon uptake by phytoplankton in Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts. II. Comparative primary productivity and nutritional status of winter and summer …

PM Glibert, MR Dennett, JC Goldman - Journal of experimental marine …, 1985 - Elsevier
Using time-course, natural-light incubations, we assessed the rate of carbon uptake at a
range of light intensities, the effect of supplemental additions of nitrogen (as NH 4+ or urea)
on light and dark carbon uptake, and the rates of uptake of NH 4+ and urea by
phytoplankton from Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts from February through August 1982.
During the winter, photoinhibition was severe, becoming manifested shortly after the start of
an incubation, whereas during the summer, there was little to no evidence of photoinhibition …
