Mean ecosystem properties for all four trophic webs over 5000 simulations
| Trophic web | PPMR (×104) | Trophic level | Total biomass (kg m−2) | k |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base | 0.07 | 6 | 0.06 | −0.08 |
| LGP | 0.16 | 5.5 | 0.10 (+67%) | −0.02 (+73%) |
| GSC | 0.96 | 5 | 0.16 (+167%) | 0.02 (−25%) |
| LGP+GSC | 2.1 | 4.5 | 0.19 (+267%) | 0.06 (+50%) |
Percent increase in parentheses represents the increase relative to the base for biomass and relative to theoretical prediction for k. Constant trophic efficiency (cTE = 0.101 ± 0.058)
