Nitrogen Uptake and Assimilation by Marine Phytoplankton

  • Chapter
Primary Productivity in the Sea

Part of the book series: Environmental Science Research ((ESRH,volume 19))

Abstract

The introduction of the 15N tracer technique into ocean research (1) has allowed the direct measurement of growth-limiting nutrient salts such as nitrate or ammonium, and has led to new insights into the mechanisms of control of primary productivity in the marine environment.
