1.2 MIP Variable: Nitrogen Limitation of Picophytoplankton (limnpico)

Record Label : limnpico

Record Title : Nitrogen Limitation of Picophytoplankton

CF Standard Name : nitrogen_growth_limitation_of_picophytoplankton

Units of Measure : 1

Record Description : Picophytoplankton are phytoplankton of less than 2 micrometers in size. Phytoplankton are algae that grow where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis. "Nitrogen growth limitation" means the ratio of the growth rate of a species population in the environment (where there is a finite availability of nitrogen) to the theoretical growth rate if there were no such limit on nitrogen availability.
