| Summary: | 13 páginas A brief account is given of the ‘agricultural hypothesis’, the key studies which led to its replacement by the ‘grazing hypothesis’, and early models of the classical planktonic food chain. The budgetary problems posed by these views led to interest in the roles of dissolved and particulate components of planktonic ecosystems, and to discovery of the ‘microbial loop’. The balance between these alternative pathways is seen to reflect processes at the interface between hydrodynamics and ecology Peer reviewed |
