Abstract
Excess C processed by zooplankton has far-reaching implications for ecosystem food-web functioning and C sequestration. Studies of the fate of excess C in zooplankton would increase the understanding of energy flow and material cycling in aquatic ecosystems. This paper reviews the reasons for P limitation and excess C in zooplankton, principal routes for the disposal of excess C, and the ecological effects of this. In addition, the paper aims to provide insight and a theoretical foundation for related studies in China.
