Abundant populations of frondose epilithic macroalgae from a variety of carbonate-rich tropical waters were significantly depleted in phosphorus relative to carbon and nitrogen when compared to macroalgae from temperate siliciclastic waters. Percent carbon (C) and percent nitrogen (N) dry weight contents were similar between tissues from the siliciclastic and carbonate environments (means of 22.6% vs. 20.1% and 1.0% vs. 1.2%, respectively), but phosphorus (P) levels were two-fold lower (0.15% vs. 0.07%) in the carbonate-rich systems.
