We assessed the effects of Saharan dust inputs of particulate matter (PM), total phosphorus
(TP), total nitrogen, and water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) on bacterial abundance (BA) …

In this study, we examine the magnitude and temporal variability of surface water pCO2 in a
set of lakes in boreal Québec, and explore the links between lake and catchment properties …

The main goal of this research was to evaluate whether the mixture of fresh labile dissolved
organic matter (DOM) and accumulated refractory DOM influences bacterial production …

We explored the patterns in bacterioplankton community metabolism (BCM) and four
components of community structure [composition (BCC), metabolic capacities (MC) …

Bacteria are critically important for carbon (C) cycling and energy flow in aquatic
environments. However, studies to date have largely focused on the role of substrate quality …

In pelagic systems, phytoplankton biomass may remain abundant or near equilibrium while
concentrations of the limiting nutrient are below detection. In eutrophic lakes, it has been …

Phosphorus (P) routinely limits microbial growth in freshwater ecosystems. The growth rate
hypothesis (GRH) relates growth to biomass P content mechanistically through changes in …

Evaluating the factors that regulate bacterial growth in natural ecosystems is a major goal of
modern microbial ecology. Phytotelm bromeliads have been used as model ecosystems in …

There is a large discrepancy between the number of microbes that can be visualized in
samples from most natural environments and the small number that grows readily in the …

The processing ofDOC inputs is only one term to consider in predicting whether a lake will
be a net source of C02• All lakes fix co2 and bury sorne amount of the autochthonously …
