Marine ecosystems are facing multiple anthropogenic global changes, including ocean acidification, warming, and reduced nutrient supplies. Together, these will challenge phytoplankton including large centric diatoms such asCoscinodiscussp., a group that is important to ocean food webs and carbon export. We investigated the interactive effects of warming, elevated CO2, and nitrate availability onCoscinodiscusgrowth, elemental stoichiometry, and Fe and C uptake rates in a four‐treatment factorial experiment combining two CO2levels (∼400 ppm and 800 ppm) and two temperatures (16°C and 20°C) across seven nitrate concentrations (1–100μmol L−1). Higher temperatures led to higher maximum growth rates (μmax), but also higher half‐saturation constants for nitrate (K1/2), while elevated CO2increasedK1/2only at the warmer temperature. Lowerμmax/K1/2ratios under warming and rising CO2indicated a higher nitrate requirement at these conditions. High temperature decreased cellular P and Si contents and consequently increased N : P and C : Si ratios, especially at ambient CO2. Fe : C uptake ratios responded positively to lower nitrate levels, lower CO2, and warming. Significant interactions between nitrate availability and temperature or CO2were observed for specific growth rates, chlorophyllaand Si contents, Fe : C, N : P, and Si : C, while temperature and CO2interactions were only significant forμmax/K1/2and cellular P content. The mutual interactions among CO2concentrations, temperature, and nitrate supply may all affect future growth, physiology, and carbon export byCoscinodiscussp., however, in general warming and nitrate availability appear to be more influential than CO2.
