Description

We characterised the quantity (mass per unit area or volume), quality (cabon:nitrogen ratio) and enrichment (δ15N) of basal food resources and benthic macroinvertebrates in six shallow lakes in the Waikato region, New Zealand, to elucidate patterns related to lake type (peat, riverine), habitat (littoral, mid-lake) and enrichment status (Trophic Level Index >6 or ≤5). Total seston dry mass was dominated by fine material that was correlated with chlorophyll a concentration. Seston was a higher...
