These larger organisms are extraneous to the biofilm community. 2 Biomass formation and transfer Relatively little is known about biomass formation and transfer in aquatic biofilms. The presence of autotrophic algae such as diatoms and bluegreen algae generates fixed carbon by photosynthesis, and some release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) would be expected. Biomass transfer occurs via ingestion of cellular and other particulate material by protozoa and invertebrates (see above), and also by assimilation of secreted organic material such as DOC and matrix by bacteria and fungi.
6. 4 Interactions with the external environment Interactions with the external environment have a key effect on both parts (Tansley, 1935) of the pelagic ecosystem, influencing both the community of organisms and the habitat that they occupy. These interactions have particular importance for the lake pelagic ecosystem. A large surface area of the pelagic system is directly exposed to the atmosphere, and is thus rapidly affected by external physico-chemical change. HOMEOSTASIS AND ECOSYSTEM STABILITY The pelagic ecosystem is the major area in the lake for penetration of light and the generation of biomass through photosynthesis (primary productivity).
In some cases these internal stresses are secondary effects of external factors, such as the effects of blue-green algal blooms resulting from eutrophication. Another example of an internal stress that may result from external factors is the induction of anoxic conditions by the bacterial bloom that develops as a response to organic pollution. This has an important effect on the composition and activities of the emergent protozoon community (Chapter 9). In other cases, internal stress factors are not directly linked to external perturbations.
