Nutrient uptake<br />

Application of model: Inshore versus open ocean<br />

phytoplankton nutrient uptake<br />

Inshore species: live <strong>in</strong> higher nutrient<br />

concentrations, should be good at uptake at high<br />

concentrations, but may be tradeoff and lower<br />

efficiency at low nutrient concentrations<br />

Open ocean species: live <strong>in</strong> lower nutrient<br />

concentrations, should be better at uptake at lower<br />

concentrations but tradeoff is <strong>in</strong>ability to deal<br />

with higher concentrations.
