TL;DR: The role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of carbon in the inland waters is likely to change in response to climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological stoichiometry from genes to ecosystems.
James J. Elser,Robert W. Sterner,Elena Gorokhova,William F. Fagan,Therese A. Markow,James B. Cotner,Jon F. Harrison,Sarah E. Hobbie,G. M. Odell,L. W. Weider +9 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the continuous generation of variation in the rDNA may also play a role in how species interactions develop in ecosystems under different conditions of energy input and nutrient supply.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth rate–stoichiometry couplings in diverse biota
James J. Elser,Kumud Acharya,Marcia Kyle,James B. Cotner,Wataru Makino,Therese A. Markow,Thomas D. Watts,Sarah E. Hobbie,William F. Fagan,John D. Schade,James M. Hood,Robert W. Sterner +11 more
TL;DR: The close relationship between P and RNA contents indicates that ribosomes themselves represent a biogeochemically significant repository of P in ecosystems and that allocation of P to ribosome generation is a central process in biological production in ecological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small Players, Large Role: Microbial Influence on Biogeochemical Processes in Pelagic Aquatic Ecosystems
TL;DR: It is concluded that competition with eukaryotic autotrophs for dissolved nutrients and competition with phagotrophic heterOTrophs and physical processes (sinking, photooxidation) for organic carbon play important roles in determining the relative abundance and impact of prokaryotes in aquatic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are bacteria more like plants or animals? Growth rate and resource dependence of bacterial C : N : P stoichiometry
TL;DR: It is suggested that shifts in the dominance of different bacterial strains in the environment are probably responsible for the large variation in bacterial biomass C : P, as has been suggested for crustacean zooplankton.
