Tiivistelmä

Eutrophication is the most acute environmental problem in the Archipelago Sea, SW Finland. When analysing the factors behind this escalating eutrophication the determination of limiting nutrient at a given time is essential. Besides experimentations, nutrient limitation of plankton has been extensively studied by direct chemical analyses. We used the latter approach in this work. Nutrient limitation was studied by calculating different nutrient ratios - total nitrogen:phosphorus, inorganic nitrogen:phosphorus, and nutrient balance ratio. Results showed that phosphorus usually limited primary production only near the coast line. In the middle zone of the Archipelago Sea the limiting factor varied temporally. Outer in the open sea nitrogen limited primary production during most of the year. Phosphorus limited phytoplankton growth especially in spring and in summer and nitrogen in late summer and in autumn. Our results suggested that nitrogen is an important limiting nutrient in the Archipelago Sea. In recent years when the eutrophication has proceeded there has been a shift from.production limitation by both nutrients to limitation by nitrogen alone. But if we want to define and characterize the nutrient limitation of the entire ecosystem of the Archipelago Sea, budgets have to be calculated for both N and P and internal recycling must be taken into account as well as external supply of nutrients and loss processes.
