Budgets for nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic carbon in Toolik Lake, Alaska, were assembled from data collected during 1977–81. The annual total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) loads to the Sake were 8557, 290, and 4.64 mmol∙m −2 . Inlet streams were the major so...
