How important are terrestrial organic carbon inputs for secondary production in freshwater ecosystems?
Many freshwater systems receive substantial inputs of terrestrial organic matter. Terrestrially
derived dissolved organic carbon (t‐DOC) inputs can modify light availability, the spatial …

ECOSYSTEM SUBSIDIES: TERRESTRIAL SUPPORT OF AQUATIC FOOD WEBS FROM 13C ADDITION TO CONTRASTING LAKES
Whole‐lake additions of dissolved inorganic 13C were used to measure allochthony (the
terrestrial contribution of organic carbon to aquatic consumers) in two unproductive lakes …

Differential support of lake food webs by three types of terrestrial organic carbon
Organic carbon inputs from outside of ecosystem boundaries potentially subsidize recipient
food webs. Four whole‐lake additions of dissolved inorganic 13C were made to reveal the …

Terrestrial organic matter and light penetration: Effects on bacterial and primary production in lakes
We investigated productivity at the basal trophic level in 15 unproductive lakes in a gradient
ranging from clear‐water to brown‐water (humic) lakes in northern Sweden. Primary …

Terrestrial carbon and intraspecific size-variation shape lake ecosystems
Conceptual models of lake ecosystem structure and function have generally assumed that
energy in pelagic systems is derived from in situ photosynthesis and that its use by higher …
