...…seas The eutrophication of estuaries and coastal seas is one of the best-documented and best-understood consequences of human-altered N cycling (Howarth 1988, NRC 1993, Justic et al. 1995, Nixon 1995, Nixon et al. 1996); it represents perhaps the greatest threat to the integrity of coastal…...

...For most temperate estuaries and coastal ecosystems, N is the element most limiting to primary production and most responsible for eutrophication (Howarth 1988, NRC 1993a, Howarth et al. 1996, Nixon et al. 1996)....

...The supply rate of N and P also strongly in¯uences the growth of algae and vascular plants in freshwater and marine ecosystems (Vollenweider, 1968; Hecky and Kilham, 1988; Howarth, 1988; Smith, 1998)....

...These trends in anthropogenic N inputs are of great concern because nutrient limitation of algal production has been demonstrated or inferred in many estuarine and marine waters (Hecky and Kilham, 1988; Howarth, 1988, 1993; Vitousek and Howarth, 1991; Lapointe and Clark 1992; Downing, 1997)....
