The water chemistry of some shallow lakes in Northern Patagonian and their nitrogen status in comparison with remote lakes in different regions of the globe
Eighteen small shallow lakes located in the Northern Patagonian Lake District, in southern South America, were sampled in 2001 and analysed for the main chemical variables (pH, conductivity, alkalinity, major ions and nutrients). The study lakes span a wide geographical and altitudinal range and bel...
