Abstract
The objective was to test the hypothesis that destruction of a biotic compartment of an ecosystem will increase system nutrient loss. Four ecosystems were described and their input-output budgets monitored. The vegetation of one ecosystem was killed with an herbicide. In another, an insecticide eliminated arthropods. The remaining two were controls.
