Conclusions<br />
• Metal <strong>stoichiometry</strong> measurements are difficult, methods are evolving<br />
• Choice <strong>of</strong> biomass proxy for normalization is important<br />
t<br />
• Using functional phyto<strong>plankton</strong> p groups in models is good approach<br />
• Environmental influences must be considered<br />
• The transfer <strong>of</strong> metals across trophic levels appears well constrained<br />
• <strong>Trace</strong> metal <strong>stoichiometry</strong> may affect production, consumption &<br />
remineralization pathways<br />
• Understanding <strong>of</strong> metal <strong>stoichiometry</strong> can provide insights into ecological<br />
dynamics
