Abstract
⺠Nutrients influence aquatic toxicity in aquatic plants, but combined effects of silver and nutrients are poorly understood. ⺠We examined effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations and N:P ratios on silver toxicity in Lemna gibba. ⺠Lemna gibba were more sensitive to silver (lower EC50s) when N and P concentrations and P-availability were higher. ⺠Site-specific nutrient conditions should be considered during prospective and retrospective risk assessments of silver.
