• A meta-analysis was performed to test whether organic matter "priming" occurs in aquatic ecosystems • We show that despite large variability between observations, priming is a generalizable feature of aquatic ecosystems • This variability can be explained by two main factors: How priming is measured and field/laboratory differences
