Abstract: How can several plant species coexist when they are all competing for the same resources — nutrients, light and carbon, for instance? It seems that they survive by tapping these resources in a different way, and an example of this is now described in transient aquatic ecosystems. The variety of photosynthetic processes used illustrates how these plants have adapted to life in the same pond.
