Methods:

Water samples were collected at each depth using a Van Dorn. Inorganic nutrient
samples (ammonium and phosphorus) were filtered in the field using 25 mm .2um
Nalgene syringe filters. Filtered water was used for both phosphorus samples, which were analyzed using standard methods (Strickland and Parsons1972), and ammonium samples, which were analyzed using Strickland and Parsons 1985. Ammonium samples were also analyzed using unfiltered water samples with a modified method according to Holmes at al 1999.
Nitrate samples were frozen and shipped to MBL. Nitrate/nitrite was
determined on an alp chem autoanalyzer using an OTCR with method (AlpKem RFA
method A303-S171).
Total dissolved nitrogen samples were preserved with 100 ul / 60ml 6N
Ultrex HCL, shipped to MBL, and stored at -20 C. Samples were was digested with
potassium persulfate and nitrate + nitrite and nitrite determined on an Alp
chem. autoanalyzer using a open tubular cadmium reactor (OTCR) method (PN
000623 #8-92 rev B).
Total dissolved phosphorus samples were fixed with 100 ul / 60 ml using 6N
Ultrex HCL, shipped to MBL, and stored at 4 C.
Particulate Phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon samples were collected on pre-
combusted 25 mm GF/F filters. Filters were dried overnight at 55 C prior to
shipment. Particulate phosphorus was determined using methods of Stainton et
al., (1974). Particulate Nitrogen and carbon were run on a Perkin elmer CHN
analyzer.
