ABSTRACT: To investigate how the pico-level micro food loop transfers energy and material to higher trophic levels, five size spectrum experiments were designed and each was performed at eight levels (3 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm, 200 μm, and pico-2 μm) in August 2011. Environmental factors including temperature, light, nutrients, chlorophyll and initial population were fully taken into account. ...
