<p>Mean and SD of biomass dry weight (mg m<sup>−2</sup>) in individual sucession stages and values of physiological parameters of the different trophic groups in the food web. A – assimilation efficiency, P – production efficiency, D – death rate (yr<sup>−1</sup>), data from Hunt et al. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0079694#pone.0079694-Hunt1" target="_blank">[29]</a>. Biomass values lower than 0.5 mg are marked as +; empty cells indicate the absence of a group. Statistically homogeneous groups of the same guild in various succession stages are marked by the same letter (ANOVA, LSD test p<0.05); no letter means that no significant difference was found.</p><p>1 – Naked Amoebae, 2 – Nematodes, bacteriop...
