Information
has glosseng: Redfield ratio or Redfield stoichiometry is the molecular ratio of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in phytoplankton. The stoichiometric ratio is C:N:P = 106:16:1. The term is named after the American oceanographer Alfred C. Redfield, who first described the ratio in an article in 1934 (Redfield 1934). In 1934 Alfred Redfield analysed thousands of samples of marine biomass from all ocean regions. He found that globally the elemental composition of marine organic matter (dead and living) was remarkably constant. The ratios of carbon to nitrogen to phosphorus remained the same from coastal to open ocean regions. The elemental ratios he found were:

has glossnor: Redfieldforholdet (engelsk:Redfield ratio) beskriver forholdet mellom grunnstoffene karbon, nitrogen, fosfor og oksygen i havvann. Begrepet har navn etter den amerikanske oseanografen Alfred C. Redfield, som første gang beskrev forholdet i en artikkel i 1963. Han postulerte at dette forholdet avspeiler hvordan stoffene inkorporeres i og seinere frigjøres fra det organiske materialet i havet.
