Phosphorus–Limited Growth Dynamics of Lotic Periphytic Diatom Communities: Areal Biomass and Cellular Growth Rate Responses

Bothwell, Max L.·1989·Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences

Abstract

Three long-term phosphate enrichment experiments were conducted at the Experimental Troughs Apparatus (EXTRA), South Thompson River British Columbia to determine the relationship between external orthophosphate (PO 43−) concentration and peak areal biomass (PB) of periphytic diatom communities. Levels of PO 43−which saturated PB were two orders of magnitude greater than those required to saturate specific growth rates in thin film periphyton communities of similar taxonomic composition. With PO 43−additions between 0.1 to 1.0 μg P∙L−1, PB responded in a hyperbolic fashion, initially increasing rapidly, then showing signs of saturation PB continued to increase in a slow, linear manner above 1.0 μg P∙L−1. Maximum PB (PB max) was calculated to occur at ca. 28 μg P∙L−1. At higher PO 43−concentrations (> 30–50 μg P∙L−1) PB was no longer P limited. Below the saturation point, PB was approximated by a log–linear function of PO 43−.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
