... on phytoplankton nutrient limitation, composition, productivity and photophysiology was investigated in central (M) and inner (G) Kongsfjorden (79°N, 11°40’E). Freshwater influx intensified stratification during June 2015, coinciding with surface nutrient depletion. Surface nutrient concentrations were negatively...

... sufficient concentrations of silicate to build their frustules ( Egge and Aksnes, 1992 ; Brzezinski et al., 1998 ).
