The Phytoplankton Ecology of Wilson Inlet, Western Australia - Nitrogen Uptake

The phytoplankton uptake rates of ammonium, nitrate and urea on monthly, seasonal and annual time scales in Wilson Inlet were measured.

In addition, it was determined whether phytoplankton community in Wilson Inlet was preferentially using a particular form of nitrogen and whether the ambient concentration of ammonium, nitrate or urea was limiting to phytoplankton biomass production.
