Metabolic scaling regularity in aquatic ecosystems

Ecosystem, metabolism, scaling factor, transfer efficiencyAbstract
We tested the hypothesis that ecosystem metabolism follows a quarter power scaling relation, analogous to organisms. Logarithm of Biomass/Production (B/P) to Trophic Level (TL) relationship was estimated to 98 trophic models of aquatic ecosystems. A normal distribution of the slopes gives a modal value of 0.64, which was significantly different of the theoretical value of 0.75 (p<0.05). After correction for transfer efficiency
among trophic levels a modal value of 0.726 was obtained through a least squares algorithm which was not significantly different from the theoretical one (p>0.05). We also tested for error in both variables, Log (B/P) and TL, through a Reduced Major Axis regression with similar results, with a modal value of 0.756 (p>0.05). We also explored a geographic distribution showing no significant relation (p>0.05) to latitude and between different
regions of the world. We conclude that: a) cosystem metabolism follows the quarter-power scaling rule; b) transfer efficiency between TL plays a relevant role characterizing local attributes to ecosystem metabolism; and c) there is neither latitudinal nor geographic differences. These findings confirm the existence of a metabolic
scaling regularity in aquatic ecosystems.
