Summary• Species inhabiting periphyton mats are adapted to theextreme and variable conditions of the Everglades
Unanswered questionsMany mechanistic experiments still needed to understand:• Why is there an inverse relationship of production and P?• How do bacteria and algae interact to increase nutrientcycling efficiency?• What is the mechanism of desiccation resistance (physicalstructures, species’ phenologies)?• How does variability in light quality and quantity withinmats facilitate production?• What happens with all that detritus?
