  • diatom SiO3 limitation factor
  • small phytoplankton nitrogen
  • diatom nitrogen
  • small phytoplankton carbon
  • diatom carbon
  • diatom Si
  • nitrate uptake by small phytoplankton
  • ammonia uptake by small phytoplankton
  • carbon uptake by small phytoplankton
  • small phytoplankton linear mortality
  • small phytoplankton quadratic mortality
  • nitrate uptake by diatoms
  • ammonia uptake by diatoms
  • silica uptake by diatoms
  • carbon uptake by diatoms
  • diatom linear mortality
  • diatom quadratic mortality
  • zooplankton nitrogen
  • zooplankton carbon
  • grazing on small phytoplankton
  • grazing on diatoms
  • zooplankton mortality/loss
  • small/suspended detritus nitrogen
  • large/sinking detritus nitrogen
  • small/suspended detritus carbon
  • large/sinking detritus carbon
  • large/sinking detritus Si
