Dear authors,
Thank you for your response to the reviewers' comments. While all reviewers noted the scientific value and interest of your work, they all raised important concerns that should be addressed in a revised version of the manuscript. Key aspects that need attention include the role of N vs P limitation, nutrient dynamics in the experiments, and interpretation of the dilution experiments. I invite you now to prepare a revised version, which will be sent for additional review to one or several of the original reviewers.
Thank you for submitting your work to Biogeosciences.
Best regards,
Emilio Marañón
