Predator Regulation and Primary Production Along the Productivity Gradient of Temperate Lake Ecosystems

  • Chapter
Complex Interactions in Lake Communities

Abstract

More than any other ecological discipline, limnology has claimed to be an ecosystem oriented and holistic science (Rodhe 1979; Wetzel 1983). In other ecological disciplines, an intense debate has taken place recently concerning whether or not the ecosystem is a meaningful ecological unit (e.g., Simberloff 1980 vs Levins and Lewontin 1980), but this has not been the case in limnology. We will argue that, although the ecosystem orientation in limnology is not the same as that represented by systems ecology today (Patten and Odum 1981; Odum and Biever 1984), both have a common historical root. Consideration of this historical circumstance is essential for understanding why the importance of complex intertrophic interactions has largely been neglected in limnology. The development of limnology has been treated by Elster (1974) and Rigler (1975), among others. We take a somewhat different approach by focusing mainly on what has constrained the development of limnology. In doing so we consider two factors which have had major impacts on the discipline: (1) lake typology, and (2) the multidisciplinary nature of limnology. A third factor, the integration between theory and application, has strongly influenced the development of the discipline but will not be treated in this context.
