Description
Summary:Sestonic and epilithic chlorophyll for the Kuparuk River during the summers of 1983 - 2009. Water was filtered and rocks from designated locations on the Kuparuk River were scrubbed for epilithic algae approximately three times each summer. 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. Sampling dates are typically once in June prior to the addition of phosphoric acid and once each in July and August.
