Abstract: It is generally agreed that biodiversity — having many different species in an ecosystem — is a good thing. In particular, it increases the amount of new biomass produced. It now appears that the numbers of species in two levels of an aquatic ecosystem, producers (photosynthetic algae) and decomposers (bacteria), interact in a complex way to affect productivity.
