Macroalgae reveal nitrogen enrichment and elevated N: P ratios on the Belize Barrier Reef
BE Lapointe, A Tewfik, M Phillips - Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021 - Elsevier
Macroalgal blooms are increasing on the Belize Barrier Reef (BBR) as scleractinian coral
cover declines. Although some have attributed this to reduced grazing, the role of land …
