| Abstract |
The inorganic nitrogen assimilation by marine phytoplankton, in nitrate limiting medium, was determined by a dynamic method. The study consisted of laboratory experiments using natural phytoplankton communities from the North Sea.The chlorophyll a concentration was examined at the start and at the end of every experiment as an indicator of the phytoplanktonic biomass. During the experiment repeated sequential determinations of the nitrate concentration were performed in order to obtain the relation between nutrient uptake and the ambient nutrient concentration. |
