Abstract
In a freshwater ecosystem there are four contributors to the pool of primary produced plant material available for animals, fungi and bacteria: phytoplankton, macrophytes, benthic and epiphytic algae, and allochthonous plant material. Both the relative and absolute amounts of these four components are different in various water bodies.
