Ecological stoichiometry deals with the mass balance of multiple key elements [eg carbon
(C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P)] in ecological systems. This conceptual framework, largely …

The relative supply of energy and elements available to organisms in the environment has
strong effects on their physiology, which, in turn, can alter important ecological processes …

Aquatic ecosystems are connected to their surrounding watersheds through inputs of
terrestrial-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM). The assimilation of this allochthonous …

During the past 20 yr, aquatic microbiologists have reported 2 strong patterns which initially
appear contradictory. In pelagic systems, bacterial growth and biomass is well correlated …

Nous avons échantillonné une série de 22 lacs du sud du Québec couvrant une large
gamme trophique afin de mettre au point des modèles du changement d'abondance et de …

Limitation of bacterioplankton production by nutrients and temperature was investigated in
eight temperate lakes in summer. Six of the lakes were resampled in autumn. The lakes …

Summary 1 Recent discussions of metabolic scaling laws focus on the model of West, Brown
& Enquist (WBE). The core assumptions of the WBE model are the size‐invariance of …

Four bacterial isolates (Chryseobacterium sp., Pseudomonas fluorescens and two
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates) originally isolated from the water system aboard the …

A key determinant of C-flux in aquatic ecosystems is the supply of elements relative to the
demands of producers and consumers. Uptake of C is commonly in excess relative to C or N …

The increase in bacterioplankton abundance (BA) with lake phytoplankton and nutrients is a
generally accepted pattern in aquatic microbial ecology (AIZA-KI et al. 1981, BIRD & KALFF …
