Abstract The springtime limnology of subarctic Lake Saanajärvi, NW Finnish Lapland, was studied in 1999 with particular interest on the estimation of the effects of acid pulse. No clear pH depression was seen during the study year with exceptionally thin snow cover, in contrast to the year 1997, whe...
