Law of the Minimum - Liebig's Law
Justus von Liebig, generally credited as the "father of the fertilizer industry", formulated the law of the minimum: if one crop nutrient is missing or deficient, plant growth will be poor, even if the other elements are abundant. Liebig likens the potential of a crop to a barrel with staves of unequal length. The capacity of this barrel is limited by the length of the shortest stave (in this case, phosphorus) and can only be increased by lengthening that stave. When that stave is lengthened, another one becomes the limiting factor. For Phytoplankton 1)Light 2)Macronutrients (N, P) 3)Micronutrients (Fe, Zn)

Iz = I0 x e-kz
Behavior of Light in the Sea
1)Exponential decrease in intensity with depth (z)
2) Preferential absorption in the ‘red-end’ of the spectrum

Net growth = dp - dr
At the compensation depth (Dc) Net growth = 0, dp = dr For an individual phytoplankton cell The critcal depth(Dcr) is defined such that
When the mixed layer depth (mld) < Dcr , a phyto plankton bloom can occur
