Abstract
A review of the literature on phytoplankton primary production studies in lakes indicates that in most cases the daily primary production rates have been derived by multiplying the short-term (usually 3 or 4 hours) production measurement with a light factor. This factor is a ratio between the total irradiance during the day and during the period of incubation. The aim of the present study was to verify this method of calculation. Since the primary production rate is of great importance for the carbon cycle of lakes, this study can be regarded as a fundamental contribution to the integrated research of the ecosystem of lake Vechten (the Netherlands) (BESTet al., 1978).
