Carbon use efficiency of microbial communities: stoichiometry, methodology and modelling
Carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a fundamental parameter for ecological models based on the
physiology of microorganisms. CUE determines energy and material flows to higher trophic …

The misuse of ratios in ecological stoichiometry
PDF Isles - Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Ecological stoichiometry is concerned with the ratios of different elements, particularly
carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Ratios by their nature do not respond symmetrically to …

The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and …
Abstract C, N and P are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and
their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. We have …

On the phosphorus limitation paradigm for lakes
RW Sterner - International Review of Hydrobiology, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Lakes are often said to be primarily phosphorus limited, but this paradigm has been
described in numerous ways and there is considerable evidence that algae in lakes are …
