Assessing ecological effects of glacial meltwater on lakes fed by the Greenland Ice Sheet: The role of nutrient subsidies and turbidity

Meltwater discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) exports sediment, solutes, total phosphorus (TP), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and other macro- and micronutrients to associated aquatic ecosystems. It remains unclear how this meltwater affects the ecology of glacially fed (GF) lakes. W...
