主 题:a limiting nutrient factor Eutrophication
摘 要:Eutrophication and algal blooms are a global environmental problem. In terms of nutrient control of eutrophic waters, there is still a heated debate on reducing P only or both P and N [1–3].The core question is whether algal communities are P-limited or N-limited or co-limited;the basic assumption is that limiting nutrients are those which should be reduced (2)But, is the assumption really true?The law of limiting factors (so-called Liebig’s Law of the Minimum) was first formed by Sprengel in 1828 in essence. He stated:
