Competition between algal species in UKL

 

Nutrient competition

APFA fixes N2

diatoms need Si

seasonal pattern of APFA to MSAE

Kahli McDonald 2009 - honors thesis

APFA does best with N:P 46, MSAE does best with N:P 103

Buoyancy/Eddy Diffusivity

APFA is strongly buoyant

MSAE less buoyant

Diatoms require
