Table 1. Mass of FPOM fractions (mg l -1, mean ± SD; n = 3) and ergosterol concentrations (µg g -1, mean ± SD) of FPOM and beech (Utopia Lake) and maple (Boss Brook leaves).
Ergosterol values were evaluated by ANOVA (p < 0.0001), followed by Tukey-Kramer. Averages with same letter are not significantly different (p > 0.05). Based on Dataset 1 and Dataset 2.
| FPOM | Fraction (mm) | Mass (mg l -1) | Ergosterol (µg g -1) |
| F4 (0.25-0.02) | 2.7±2.5 | 0.03 a ± 0.01 | |
| F3 (0.5-0.25) | 0.01±0.02 | 0.52 a,b ± 0.07 | |
| F2 (1-0.5) | 0.01±0.02 | 1.2 b ± 0.2 | |
| CPOM | Beech | na | 2.9 c ± 0.7 |
| Maple | na | 35.5 d ± 1.1 |
