Effects of Nutrients and Top Predators on the Structure and Dynamics of a Freshwater Plankton Community: Experimental Studies

Abstract

dc:description

Field experiments were conducted during two summers (1980 and 1981) in Dynamite Lake, Illinois, to determine the roles of planktivorous fish and nutrients in regulating the dynamics of the plankton community. Dynamite Lake contains high levels of bluegill sunfish and low nutrient levels. In both years nutrient and fish levels were manipulated in replicated, factorial-design experiments.
