title: Relationship Between Temperature and the Metabolism of Experimental Ecosystems.
abstract: Short-term temperature variations of approximately 7 degrees C above and below the normal maintenance temperature of balanced laboratory aquaria demonstrated that the metabolism of the ecosystem is practically independent of temperature. It is postulated that the closer a living system approaches the integration of a balanced ecosystem, the less it is affected by temperature.
