Biotic stoichiometric controls on the deep ocean N:P ratio
We re-examine what controls the deep ocean N:P ratio in the light of recent findings that the C:N:P stoichiometry of phytoplankton varies with growth rate, nutrient and light limitation, species and phylum, and that N<sub>2</sub>-fixation may be limited by Fe, temperature and/or light in...
