Phosphorus is the main limiting nutrient in freshwater environments, whereas nitrogen is the main limiting nutrient in saltwater environments.
Phosphorus is the typical nutrient in freshwater, while nitrogen is the typical nutrient in saltwater.
it is limited
Phosphorus
Some specializations of algae include marine algae, which are adapted to live in saltwater environments, and freshwater algae, which are specialized to survive and thrive in freshwater habitats. Other specializations include microalgae, which are extremely small and can be unicellular, and macroalgae, which are larger and multicellular. Additionally, there are various types of algae that have specialized adaptations for photosynthesis, reproduction, and nutrient acquisition.
In Ecology, limiting nutrients are compounds that affect growth or success of a population. One such nutrient, found in marine ecosystems, is nitrogen. Nitrogen IS the limiting nutrient - it does not have one.
a limiting nutrient
This is a substance that is limited in nutrient. An example is when a limiting nutrient is supplied in large amounts, it acts as a fertilizer causing algae to bloom.
the substance is a limiting factor, but im not sure at all__________________________________________orLimiting nutrient- single nutrient that either is scarce or cycles very slowly, limiting the growth of organisms in an ecosystem.
Salt and freshwater are not nutrients.
growth rate
A limiting nutrient is when a substance is in short supply, and it is needed more.
Wording of question is paradoxical, limiting can't be in excess .
