Short summary
Coastal bays face nitrogen increases while phosphorus stays scarce. At <0.05 μmol/L phosphorus, marine microbes boost alkaline phosphatase production. The nitrogen : phosphorus ratio further enhances this when phosphorus is limited. Our research reveals how nutrient imbalances favor phosphorus-adapted organisms, reshaping ecosystems. Better nutrient management is needed to protect coastal waters.
