The primary production

  • Chapter
Lake Stechlin

Part of the book series: Monographiae Biologicae ((MOBI,volume 58))

Abstract

The primary production of the phytoplankton is one of the most important sources of the energy input in freshwater ecosystems (Moss 1980). A broad knowledge of endogenous and exogenous control mechanisms of phytoplanktonic primary production is necessary to obtain basic information on the energy flow in the ecosystem of Lake Stechlin. Pretreatment conditions of the phytoplankton population as well as factors concerning the regulation of the overall carbohydrate metabolism of the algae and the integration of the photosynthetic products into development and growth of phytoplankton allow a better understanding of the lake metabolism as a whole (Harris 1978).
