The effects of nutrient availability and quality of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) on bacterioplankton production were assessed in six lakes with differing frequencies of river flooding. Bacterial productivity, dissolved nutrients, and DOC were tracked weekly throughout the open-water period of 2001...
