Article Synopsis
- * Terrestrial DOC primarily boosts bacterial respiration but contributes very little to higher levels of the food web, with less than 2% reaching zooplankton.
- * In contrast, terrestrial POC plays a crucial role in supporting zooplankton and fish populations, contributing up to 73% of carbon flow to zooplankton and 50% to fish in non-fertilized lakes, highlighting the importance of the type of carbon input on ecosystem dynamics.
Ecosystems are supported by organic carbon from two distinct sources. Endogenous carbon is produced by photosynthesis within an ecosystem by autotrophic organisms. Exogenous carbon is produced elsewhere and transported into ecosystems.
