Title | Plant community structure determines primary productivity in shallow, eutrophic lakes |
Creator | Brothers, Soren Hilt, Sabine Meyer, Stephanie Köhler, Jan |
Description | Regime shifts are commonly associated with the loss of submerged macrophytes in shallow lakes; yet, the effects of this on whole-lake primary productivity remain poorly understood. This study compares the annual gross primary production (GPP) of two shallow, eutrophic lakes with different plant community structures but similar nutrient concentrations. Daily GPP rates were substantially higher in the lake containing submerged macrophytes (586 ± 23 g C m−2 year−1) than in the lake featuring... |
