    Researchers at IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, SLU, Norwegian NIVA, English CEH and Scottish Water, have developed a method that makes it easier to estimate both the rate at which dissolved organic carbon in lake water is produced or conversely the rate at which it is consumed – this as a function of water nutritional status and turnover. Their findings have been published in the Nature Geoscience journal.
