The impact of marine eutrophication on phytoplankton and benthic suspension feeders : progress report II : results of mesocosm experiments with reduced N-load and increased grazing pressure

Results of mesocosm experiments on the effects of N-load reduction and grazing pressure in 1994. They aim at the analysis of: The effects of the N-load on nutrient ratios, phytoplankton production, species composition and succession, of a gradient of N-loads on the zooplankton species composition, of mussel density on the phytoplanton production, species composition and succession as well as the nutrient availability, of Phaeocystis on food uptake and assimilation of mussels.
