520 3 |a The Ria Formosa coastal lagoon is one of the most important and vulnerable ecosystems in Portugal, and it is subjected to strong anthropogenic pressures and natural nutrient inputs associated with coastal upwelling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of nutrient and light limitation of phytoplankton growth during the productive period, and assess potential impacts of limitation on ecosystem eutrophication. Inorganic nutrients were added to natural microcosms filled with water collected at the landward and seaward boundaries, in summer 2012. Experimental treatments were incubated in situ under two different light intensities during 24h. Phytoplankton composition, abundance and biomass, net growth rates and nutrient consumption were evaluated. At the landward location, potential nutrient limitation by nitrogen was observed. Nitrogen addition led to a significant increase in N consumption, resulting in higher phytoplankton growth, mainly diatoms, in all N-enriched treatments, under both light intensities. Significant consumption of silica and phosphorus was not reflected on growth, and it was probably due to luxury consumption. At the seaward station, phytoplankton, mainly cyanobacteria and eukaryotic picophytoplankton, were primarily limited by light, due to a deeper mixed layer. Nutrients were not limiting the phytoplankton growth due to import of nutrients from upwelled waters to the adjacent coastal zone.
