Time Scale and Scope of Bacterial Response Variables

TIME SCALE AND SCOPE OF BACTERIAL RESPONSE VARIABLES 

For riparian-stream-river ecosystems, we do not have a large empirical database on bacterial respiration, growth, and degradative enzyme capacity 

FIGURE 5 Relative scopes (measured as quartile range/median) for an array of extracellular enzymes and for bacterial production and respiration. Dependent variables shown along the X-axis are (left to right) leucine aminopeptidase, phosphatase, fatty acid esterase, (3-glucosidase, a-glucosidase, bacterial production, and bacterial respiration. Data are derived from four DOM experimental amendments.
