Journal ArticleDOI
Plankton community structure and limnetic primary production
TL;DR: A mechanistic, size-structured model was used to analyze effects of grazers on lacustrine primary productivity, finding that dependence of grazing and nutrient excretion rates on herbivore size, and dependence of algal metabolic rates on cell size, interacted to produce strong responses in primary productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enrichment of lake wingra, wisconsin, by submersed macrophyte decay'
TL;DR: This study analyzes enrichment of hard-water eutrophic Lake Wingra by decomposi- tion of submersed aquatic vegetation with a model constructed to predict daily release of dissolved total phosphorus (DTP) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from decaying macrophyte shoots.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of carbon evasion and sedimentation in temperate lakes
Paul C. Hanson,Amina I. Pollard,Darren L. Bade,Katie Predick,Stephen R. Carpenter,Jonathan A. Foley +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a model to study processing of both autochthonous and allochthonal carbon sources in lakes, and run the model over gradients of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations found in the Northern Highlands Lake District of Wisconsin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leading indicators of trophic cascades.
TL;DR: This work investigated whether impending regime shifts driven by gradual increase in exploitation of the top predator can create signals that cascade through food webs and be discerned in phytoplankton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomy and resilience of the global production ecosystem
Magnus Nyström,Jean-Baptiste Jouffray,Jean-Baptiste Jouffray,Albert V. Norström,Beatrice Crona,Beatrice Crona,P. Søgaard Jørgensen,P. Søgaard Jørgensen,Stephen R. Carpenter,Örjan Bodin,Victor Galaz,Victor Galaz,Carl Folke,Carl Folke +13 more
TL;DR: This Perspective examines the global production ecosystem through the lenses of connectivity, diversity and feedback, and proposes measures that will increase its stability and sustainability.
