    • Co-Limitation of Phytoplankton by N and P in a Shallow Coastal Lagoon (Ria Formosa): Implications for Eutrophication Evaluation
    Authors: Domingues, Rita B.; Nogueira, Patrícia; Barbosa, Ana B.;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    The Ria Formosa coastal lagoon is a highly productive shallow ecosystem in southern Portugal, subjected to nutrient inputs from anthropogenic and natural sources. Nutrients are major abiotic drivers of phytoplankton in this system, but their effects on phytoplankton assemblages and the occurrence of nutrient limitation are still poorly understood. The main goal of this study was, thus, to evaluate the occurrence, type, and effects of nutrient limitation on phytoplankton community and specific functional groups in the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon. We conducted nutrient enrichment experiments with factorial additions of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) using natural phytoplankton assemblag...
