To understand mechanisms linking ecosystem processes and microbial diversity in freshwater ecosystems, bacterial productivity and the metacommunity dynamics of species sorting and mass effects were investigated in an 18 ha headwater lake in northern Alaska. On most sampling dates, the phylogenetic composition of bacterial communities in inflowing streams (inlets) was...

Storm events can pulse nutrients and carbon from soils and provide an important subsidy to food webs in oligotrophic streams and lakes. Bacterial nutrient limitation and the potential response of stream aquatic bacteria to storm events was investigated in arctic tundra environments by manipulating both water temperature and inorganic nutrient...

Hydrologic processes control much of the export of organic matter and nutrients from
the land surface. It is the variability of these hydrologic processes that produces variable
patterns of nutrient transport in both space and time. In this paper, we explore how
hydrologic ‘‘connectivity’’ potentially affects nutrient transport. Hydrologic connectivity...
