Temperature and phytoplankton growth in the sea
TL;DR: The variation in growth rate with temperature of unicellular algae suggests that an equation can be written to describe the maximum expected growth rate for temperatures less than 40°C, a logical starting point for modeling phytoplankton growth and photosynthesis in the sea.

Effects of hypoxia and organic enrichment on the coastal marine environment
TL;DR: It is suggested that the major effects on benthic fauna result from hypoxia rather than organic enrichment per se and suggests that the P-R model is descriptive rather than predictive, which is widely reported but actual predictions of the model have rarely been tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of N:P atomic ratios and nitrate limitation on algal growth, cell composition, and nitrate uptake 1
TL;DR: In this paper, Scenedesmus sp. was grown in chemostats at a fixed growth rate (p) in an inorganic medium with nitrogen to phosphorus atomic ratios (N:P) ranging from 5 to 80, to investigate the effect of double nutrient limitation.

LIGHT AND TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF THE CARBON TO CHLOROPHYLL a RATIO IN MICROALGAE AND CYANOBACTERIA: IMPLICATIONS FOR PHYSIOLOGY AND GROWTH OF PHYTOPLANKTON
TL;DR: It would appear that use of a single value of θ for phytoplankton is inappropriate for ecological studies and the available data indicate that θ is about three times larger in dinoflagellates than in other algae under comparable PFDs at 20 °C.

Phosphorus versus nitrogen limitation in the marine environment1
TL;DR: Limnological and marine geochemical opinion favors phosphorus limitation of organic production in aquatic environments, while marine biological opinion favors nitrogen limitation, which suggests that phosphorus vs. nitrogen limitation is a function of the relative rates of water exchange and internal biochemical processes acting to adjust the ratio of ecosystem N:P availability.
