Abstract (English):: Elucidating drivers of aquatic ecosystem metabolism is key to forecasting how inland waters will respond to anthropogenic changes. We quantified gross primary production (GPP), respiration (ER), and net ecosystem production (NEP) in a natural and two restored prairie wetlands (one "older" and one "recently" restored) and identified drivers of temporal variation. GPP and ER were highest in the older restored wetland, followed by the natural and recently restored sites. The natural wetland was the only net autotrophic site. Metabolic differences could not be definitively tied to restoration history, but were consistent with previous studies of restored wetlands. Wetlands showed similar metabolic responses to abiotic variables (photosynthetically active radiation, wind speed, temperature), but differed in the direct and interactive influences of biotic factors (submersed aquatic vegetation, phytoplankton). Drivers and patterns of metabolism suggested the importance of light over nutrient limitation and the dominance of autochthonous production. Such similarity in ecosystem metabolism between prairie wetlands and shallow lakes highlights the need for a unifying metabolic theory for small and productive aquatic ecosystems.
