Article Synopsis
- Hardwater lakes, commonly found in human-influenced areas, face pollution from agricultural and urban nitrogen inputs, impacting carbon cycling and food web functions.
- Experiments showed that adding nitrogen significantly increased phytoplankton biomass and oxygen production, but the response of autotrophs plateaued at around 3 mg N per liter per week.
- The results indicate that nitrogen enrichment not only boosts plant life but also enhances CO2 absorption in these lakes, highlighting the sensitivity of CO2 exchanges to nitrogen pollution.
