Cross-ecosystem nutrient subsidies in Arctic and alpine lakes: implications of global change for remote lakes

Environmental change is continuing to affect the flow of nutrients, material and organisms across ecosystem boundaries. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge of cross-ecosystem nutrient subsidies between Arctic and alpine lakes and their surrounding terrain, cryosphere, and atmosphere.
