A comparison of nutrient-limited productivity in Sargassum natans from neritic vs. oceanic waters of the western North Atlantic Ocean

Physiological studies and seawater nutrient analysis showed that the productivity of the macroalga Sargassum natans was significantly enhanced by higher N and P availability in neritic compared to oceanic waters of the western North Atlantic Ocean (17-400N). This manuscript is an author version with...
