Factors regulating phytoplankton production and standing crop in the world's freshwaters
Abstract
A regression analysis of global data for freshwater phytoplankton production, chlorophyll, and various nutrient parameters revealed the following: A high proportion of the variance in both annual phytoplankton production and mean annual chlorophyll could be explained by annual phosphorus input (loading), once a simple correction for water renewal time was applied. Good relationships were also found between phosphorus loading and mean total phosphorus concentration, and between total phosphorus concentration and chlorophyll. The slope of the regression of total phosphorus on phosphorus loading for stratified lakes was not significantly different from that for unstratified lakes, suggesting that the effect of stratification on phosphorus concentration is insignificant compared to external sources of the element. Nutrient input, which was unavailable in previous analyses, appears to be an important factor in controlling freshwater production. There is some evidence for a correlation between latitude and nutrient input, and it is possible that this may explain the good correlation between latitude and production observed by earlier investigators.

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.
