摘要：

A long debate has centred on what nutrient in the oceans is the main limitation on phytoplankton growth. Is one nutrient clearly more important than others, and, if so, on what timescales? The answer to emerge from newly published model calculations is that, over long periods, phosphorus, in the form of dissolved phosphate, is the ‘ultimate limiting nutrient’.
