Increasing stoichiometric imbalance in North America's largest lake: Nitrification in Lake Superior

Lake Superior has exhibited a continuous, century-long increase in nitrate whereas phosphate remains at very low levels. Increasing nitrate and low phosphate has led to a present-day severe stoichiometric imbalance; Lake Superior's deepwater NO3 :PO43 molar ratio is 10,000, more than 600 times...
