✦ Synopsis
The importance of airborne plant litterfall as a source of organic material was evaluated for a small oligotrophic lake. The airborne plant litter input was estimated to be 100 kg yr' (45 kg C. yr-t), which represents approximately 5% of the phytoplankton productivity. The quantity of plant litter entering the lake followed an exponential decline with distance from the shore.
