The Input and Significance of Particulate Terrestrial Organic Carbon in a Subalpine Freshwater Ecosystem

  • Chapter
Fennoscandian Tundra Ecosystems

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 16))

Abstract

In a freshwater ecosystem there are four contributors to the pool of primary produced plant material available for animals, fungi and bacteria: phytoplankton, macrophytes, benthic and epiphytic algae, and allochthonous plant material. Both the relative and absolute amounts of these four components are different in various water bodies.
