Boreal lake ecosystems in the U.S. have experienced enhanced nitrogen (N) deposition and increasing dissolved organic carbon concentrations. These changes can lead to N enrichment as well as affect water transparency and nutrient influx. To investigate the combined effects of N enrichment and changi...
