TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	Water samples were collected at depths 0,1,3,5,8,12,16 meters with a Van Dorn. Water was filtered in the field using 47mm .045 um millipore HAE filters. Phosphorus, ammonia and nitrate/nitrite samples were kept at 4 C in amber HDPE bottles until being run on an ALP chem auto analyzer . TDN samples were fixed with 1 ul/ml 6N ultrex HCL, shipped to MBL, and stored at -20 C. Dissolved organic N was digested with potassium persulfate and determined on an alp chemm autoanalyzer using a packed cadmium column and RFA method number AS303-S171-09 . DOP samples were fixed with 1 ul/ml 6N ultrex HCL, shipped to MBL, and stored at 4 C. Dissolved organic P was digested with potassium persulfate and determined on an alp chem autoanalyzer using RFA methods Particulate Phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon samples were collected on precombusted 25 mm GF/F filters. Filters were dried overnight at 55 C prior to shipment and stored in ziplock freezer bags. Particulate phosphorus was determined using methods of Stainton et al., (1974). Particulate Nitrogen and carbon were run on a Perkin elmer CHN analyzer. Reference Citations: R.G. Wetzel & G.E. Likens. 1979. Limnological Methods. Saunders. Philadelphia.
