Nitrogen transformations differentially affect nutrient‐limited primary production in lakes of varying trophic state

Abstract The concept of lakes “evolving” phosphorus (P) limitation has persisted in limnology despite limited direct evidence. Here, we developed a simple model to broadly characterize nitrogen (N) surpluses and deficits, relative to P, in lakes and compared the magnitude of this imbalance to estima...
