Bottom-Up Control of the Groundwater Microbial Food-Web in an Alpine Aquifer

Bottom-Up Control of the Groundwater Microbial Food-Web in an Alpine Aquifer

Groundwater ecosystems are typically poor in organic carbon and productivity sustaining a low standing stock of microbial biomass. In consequence, microbial food webs in oligotrophic groundwater are hypothesized to be bottom-up controlled. To date, quantitative information on groundwater microbial c...
