Seasonal variations in nutrient concentrations and speciation in the
[1] To better understand the seasonal controls on nutrient abundances, speciation, and fluxes in a watershed underlain by discontinuous permafrost, we collected water samples biweekly from the Chena River during 2005–2006 to measure inorganic and organic N, P, and Si in dissolved and particulate pha...
