Are temporal variations in the nitrate content of UK upland freshwaters linked to the North Atlantic Oscillation?
Synchron ous patterns of variation in NO3 concentration, observed in upland lakes and streams across gradients of climate, altitude, land use and nitrogen deposition over the last decade, show a strong negative correlation with winter values for the North Atlantic Oscillation Index and mean winter t...
