Considering that the Redfield ratio for algae is C:N:P = 106:16:1, what would be the limiting nutrient(s) if the mass concentrations of C, N, P in a pond are 20 mg/L, 800 μg/L and 160 μg/L, respectively. Would the limiting nutrient change if the concentration of phosphorous in the same pond decreases by 50%? Show calculations.
