1. An oligotrophic arctic lake was fertilised with inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus as (NH 4 ) 2 NO 3 and H 3 PO 4 for five summers. The loading rate was 1.7–2.5 mmol N m –2 day –1 and 0.136–0.20 mmol P m –2 day –1 which is two to three times the annual loading of lakes in the area. The heterotroph...
