A continuous‐flow periphyton bioassay: Tests of nutrient limitation in a tundra stream1
The effect of added nutrients on the periphyton of a tundra stream was tested during July and August. Flow‐through systems consisting of a bank of clear plastic tubes containing racks of microscope slides were suspended from floats in the stream. Nutrients were enriched in the experimental tubes by...
