Description
Summary:Samples from designated stations from the Kuparuk River were collected during each summer from 2000 to current time. Station sites are relative distance from the original 1983 phosphorus dripper. Stations include sites in a reference reach, a reach that has been recovering from phosphorus addition since 1996, and a reach that has had phosphorus added since 1983. Phosphoric acid is added to the stream to increase the soluble reactive phosphorus by 0.32 uM. Three sampling dates occurred each summer; once in June prior to the start of fertilization and once each in July and August. Water samples were analyzed for soluble reactive phosphate, ammonium, and nitrate.
