competitors for limiting nutrients as has been observed  \citep[see][Figure~\ref{fig:conceptual}]{COTNER_1992}. These dynamics should  result in the increase in bacterial biomass relative to the photoautotroph biomass along  a gradient of increasing labile C inputs. We refer to this differential allocation of limiting resources among components of the microbial community as niche partitioning, in reference to the n-dimensional  resource partitioning. space available to members of the microbial community.  % Fakesubsubsection  While these gross level dynamics have been discussed conceptually
