Eutrophication mitigation is an ongoing priority for aquatic ecosystems. However, the current
eutrophication control strategies (phosphorus (P) and/or nitrogen (N)) are guided mainly by …

Background Plants can utilize two major forms of inorganic N: NO3−(nitrate) and NH4+
(ammonium). In some cases, the preference of one form over another (denoted as β) can …

Abstract Western Lake Erie cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) occur every
summer as a result of anthropogenic nutrient loading. Although the physiological importance …

The capacity of a lake to remove reactive nitrogen (N) through denitrification has important
implications both for the lake and for downstream ecosystems. In large oligotropic lakes …

Water column primary production is a major term in the organic carbon cycle, particularly in
large lakes with relatively reduced shoreline and near-shore influence. Presently, there is a …

Recent discoveries have altered prevailing paradigms concerning the conditions under
which nitrification takes place and the organisms responsible for nitrification in aquatic …

New and synthesized information about linked carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P)
cycles in Lake Superior indicate the ways that Earth's largest lake by area can be …

We present a lake‐wide investigation of Lake Superior carbon and organic matter
biogeochemistry using radiocarbon, stable isotope, and carbon concentrations. Dissolved …

We summarise current understanding of consumer recycling in lake nutrient cycles and
expand on it by integrating emerging knowledge from food web ecology. The role of …

As water moves through the Laurentian Great Lakes system, it experiences a steep gradient
in physical and chemical conditions between oligotrophic Lake Superior and eutrophic Lake …
