  1. Elevated CO2 did not alter soil nitrogen or phosphorus mobilization
    Elevated CO2 does not enhance nitrogen or phosphorus mobilization in Eucalyptus woodland, suggesting phosphorus limitation stems from scarcity rather than competition.
  2. Grazing risk can induce toxins as strongly as nitrogen enrichment
    Meta-analysis of 113 experimental contrasts demonstrating that grazing risk rivals nutrient enrichment in driving phycotoxin production in Alexandrium and Pseudo-nitzschia harmful algae.
  3. Sediment extracts boosted Microcystis growth and phosphorus use
    Study examines how nutrient sources from sediment, periphyton, and cyanobacterial scum affect Microcystis growth rates and microcystin toxin production in harmful algal blooms.
