Journal ArticleDOI

Lakes and reservoirs as regulators of carbon cycling and climate

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

Detritus, trophic dynamics and biodiversity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an integrative framework for understanding the impact of detritus on food web dynamics, emphasizing the ontogeny and heterogeneity of detribus and the various ways that explicit inclusion of the detrital dynamics alters generalizations about the structure and functioning of food webs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient Cycling by Animals in Freshwater Ecosystems

TL;DR: This work has shown that nutrient translocation by relatively large animals may be particularly important for stimulating new primary production and for increasing nutrient standing stocks in recipient habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stoichiometry of nutrient recycling by vertebrates in a tropical stream: linking species identity and ecosystem processes

TL;DR: Variation in the rates and ratios at which 28 vertebrate species recycled nitrogen and phosphorus in a tropical stream supports stoichiometry theory and illustrates a strong linkage between species identity and ecosystem function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fish extinctions alter nutrient recycling in tropical freshwaters

TL;DR: The importance of exploited species in nutrient recycling suggests that overfishing could have particularly detrimental effects on ecosystem functioning, and underscores the complexity of predicting the consequences of extinctions from species-rich animal communities.
