Rehabilitating the cyanobacteria – niche partitioning, resource use efficiency and phytoplankton community structure during diazotrophic cyanobacterial blooms

Summary Blooms of nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria are recurrent phenomena in marine and freshwater habitats, and their supplying role in aquatic biogeochemical cycles is generally considered vital. The objective of this study was to analyse whether an increasing proportion of nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria affects (i) the composition of the non‐diazotrophic component of ambient phytoplankton communities and (ii) resource use efficiency ( RUE ;...
