Humic lakes with inefficient and efficient transfer of matter in planktonic food webs

Abstract Humic compounds and related factors are the main constraints for the development of zooplankton in humic lakes, leading to low transfer efficiency in food webs. The results of this study indicated that some zooplankton species could have an advantage under these conditions. We found that th...
