Hydrological and hydrochemical monitoring of paired watersheds in the High Arctic was conducted in 2003–04 to investigate the influence of seasonal runoff on lake water chemistry and productivity. Despite similar limnological conditions overall between the two lakes, marked differences in aquatic pr...
