The influence of urea and nitrate nutrients on the bioavailability and toxicity of nickel to Prorocentrum donghaiense (Dinophyta) and Skeletonema costatum (Bacillariophyta).

Nitrogen nutrients and nickel(Ni) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, and they are important for primary production of ocean ecosystem. This study examined the interaction of nitrogen nutrients (specifically urea and nitrate) and Ni on chlorophyll (Chl a) concentration and photosynthesis parameters values of Prorocentrum donghaiense and Skeletonema costatum. The data presented here indicate that low concentration of Ni for P.
