Nutrient recycling affects autotroph and ecosystem stoichiometry.
Stoichiometric nutrient ratios are the consequence of myriad interacting processes, both biotic and abiotic. Theoretical explanations for autotroph stoichiometry have focused on species' nutrient requirements but have not addressed the role of nutrient availability in determining autotroph stoichiometry. Remineralization of organic N and P supplies a significant fraction of inorganic N and P to...
متن کاملOscillations in plankton models with nutrient recycling.
Plankton--nutrient interaction models with both instantaneous and delayed nutrient recycling are considered. The system consists of three components: autotrophic phytoplankton, herbivorous zooplankton and dissolved limiting nutrient. Local stability of the equilibria is analysed. It is shown that the positive equilibrium loses its stability when the nutrient input concentration passes through a...
متن کاملAllelopathy Effects of Trifolium alexandrium L. on Germination and Nutrient Uptake in Medicinal Plant Peganum harmala L.
The present study focused on effects of Trifolium alexandrium L. extract (0.002, 0.004 and control) which is a fast-growing plant on germination, growth and nutrients uptake of medicinal plant Peganum harmala L. Results revealed that T. alexandrium extract had significant (P
متن کاملStoichiometry of Consumer-driven Nutrient Recycling
How does consumer physiology and life history respond to them? And (3) What are their consequences for ecological processes in ecosystems? Elemental imbalances are defi ned by a mismatch between the elemental demands of a consumer and those provided by its resources. For example, carbon-tophosphorus (C:P) ratios in the suspended organic matter in lakes (i.e., algae, bacteria, and detritus) can ...
متن کاملFish-mediated nutrient recycling and the trophic cascade in lakes
The effects of planktivorous fish on phytoplankton through nutrient recycling and zooplankton herbivory were experimentally separated and their relative importance quantified in a eutrophic humic lake. Natural phytoplankton assemblages were incubated in nutrient-permeable chambers placed inside enclosures with or without fish. Outside these chambers, phytoplankton were exposed to zooplankton he...
