The ecologies of lake and ocean water columns have a strong similarity to solution chemistry. Of course, some of it is solution chemistry, but the mode of thinking can be extended to many of the pelagic organism–molecule and organism–organism interactions. This typically takes the form of encounter theory, and the rate predicting equations are the same as those for first-order chemical reactions in solution: Rate = β[a] [b], where [a] and [b] are, respectively, the concentrations . . .
