From bacteria to piscivorous fish: estimates of whole-lake and component-specific metabolism with an ecosystem approach.

The influence of functional group specific production and respiration patterns on a lake's metabolic balance remains poorly investigated to date compared to whole-system estimates of metabolism. We employed a summed component ecosystem approach for assessing lake-wide and functional group-speci...
