Supplemental Information
Submission Package ID: 04HFK1
Purpose Herbivores and detritus consumers (i.e., microbial decomposers and invertebrate and vertebrate detritivores) are pivotal components of trophic food webs and thus play a paramount role in the trophic transference and turnover of roducer-fixed carbon. Hence, elucidating patterns in carbon flux through these first-order consumers is important to understand the nature and controls of carbon flow in ecosystems.
