relative differences between planktonic and biofilm diversity found in
\citet{22237539} compared to this study.
%In In addition, for this study, it is important to note that biofilm community
%richness richness peaked at the intermediate treatment (C:P = 100) and appeared to
%decrease decrease over time
%although although with only two time points it was unclear how pronounced this effect
%was was (Figure~\ref{fig:rarefaction}). Since biomass of the plankton and the
%biofilm biofilm increased with increasing C subsidies the intermediate peak in OTU
%richness richness is consistent with a classic productivity-diversity relationship that

%design design did not allow us to tell whether resources drove productivity that drove
%changes changes in diversity or whether resources drove diversity which altered
%productivity. productivity. Rather we note that, as diversity decreased in the highest C
