Figure 4: Examples of PO43− uptake experiments in the laboratory.

From: Nitrogen and phosphorus uptake rates of different species from a coral reef community after a nutrient pulse

Figure 4

Decrease of PO43− concentrations in the incubation water due to PO43− uptake by (a,b) the macroalga Dictyota menstrualis (from 5 m depth) and (c,d) the benthic cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula (from 20 m depth). The species were incubated at low (left column) and at high (right column) initial PO43− concentrations. Error bars represent s.d. of the mean (n = 9). PO43− uptake experiments of the other species are shown in Supplementary Figs S3 and S4.
