Tropical freshwater ecosystems have lower bacterial growth efficiency than temperate ones.

Tropical freshwater ecosystems have lower bacterial growth efficiency than temperate ones.

Current models and observations indicate that bacterial respiration should increase and growth efficiency (BGE) should decrease with increasing temperatures. However, these models and observations are mostly derived from data collected primarily in temperate regions, and the tropics are under-repres...
