Treatment | Total coccolithophores | E. huxleyi | R. clavigera | E. huxleyi mass |
---|---|---|---|---|
C | +NH4+ (p = 1.4 × 10–2) | –NO3– (p = 2.6 × 10–2) | ||
W | + PO43– (p = 7.0 × 10–2) | +PO43– (p = 8.6 × 10–2) | ||
OA | +NO3– (p = 3.0 × 10–2) | + PO43– (p = 5.0 × 10–3) | ||
GH | +NO3– (p = 7.0 × 10–3); + NH4+ (p = 2.8 × 10–2) | +NO3– (p = 8.7 × 10–2) | +NO3– (p = 5.5 × 10–2); +NH4+ (p = 1.0 × 10–3) | + NH4+ (p = 4.9 × 10–2) |
The positive (negative) signs indicate direct (inverse) significant relationships between the coccolithophore parameters (i.e. coccolithophore cell abundance and E. huxleyi coccosphere calcite mass) and nutrient concentrations. The correspondent p-values are indicated within parentheses.
