61. The incursion of nutrient-rich intermediate waters into the euphotic zone would not lead to excess supply of nutrients and ensuing nitrogen isotopic fractionation (5). When the pycnocline lies within the euphotic zone of a stratified basin, a deep algal community develops and autotrophic nutrient uptake causes the retreat of the nutricline below the euphotic depth (6), Implicit in this retreat is expansion of the algal population to meet the increased supply of nutrients. Thus, a nutrient excess within the euphotic zone would not occur, and kinetic fractionation would not be expressed (14).

68. -1) demonstrates that nutrient delivery from the Nile was unlikely to have increased new nitrogen production by more than 1.6 to 3.2% over contemporary rates. Increasing the Nile discharge rate beyond 2.5 times the modern value, and adding a contribution from Eurasian rivers such that riverine runoff was four times that of the predam Nile discharge would only increase new nitrogen production by 5 to 10%.
