The growth rate hypothesis (GRH) posits that variation in organismal stoichiometry (C: P and
N: P ratios) is driven by growth‐dependent allocation of P to ribosomal RNA. The GRH has …

In aquatic settings, animals directly affect ecosystem functions through excretion of dissolved
nutrients. However, the comparative role of egestion as an animal-mediated nutrient flux …

The ecological stoichiometry theory provides a framework to understand organism fitness
and population dynamics based on stoichiometric mismatch between organisms and their …

The theory of microbial stoichiometry can predict the proportional coupling of microbial
assimilation of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). The proportional coupling is …

Maintaining a balance between growth needs and available food resources is critical to the
development of any organism. Ecological stoichiometry provides a theoretical basis for …

Differences in elemental stoichiometry among consumers can regulate fundamental
ecological processes such as animal production or nutrient cycling within ecosystems …

Litter colonisation by fungi and bacteria is essential for decomposition. Although algae are
not directly related to the decomposition process, in lentic environment, they usually …

Fire regimes are shifting under climate change. Decadal‐scale shifts in fire regime can
disrupt the biogeochemical cycling of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) within …

Diverse global change processes are reshaping the biogeochemistry of stream ecosystems.
Nutrient enrichment is a common stressor that can modify flows of biologically important …

Freshwater and terrestrial biodiversity is linked through resource flows. For example,
subsidies from the riparian vegetation form the base of food webs in small streams. Despite …
