Temperature and resources interact to shape phytoplankton size-abundance relationships at a continental scale
V. Gjoni, D. S. Glazier, B. W. Ibelings, M. K. Thomas
The paper examines phytoplankton size-abundance relationships across 1048 freshwater lakes, finding the slope varies with temperature and nutrients, contradicting the metabolic theory of ecology's prediction of a -3/4 slope.
