| Description | Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) elemental and nitrogen isotopic ratios were determined for bulk organic matter in surface sediments of 11 sockeye salmon (Onchorynchus nerka) nursery lakes in British Columbia, Canada. Chitinous exoskeletons of Bosmina spp. were also picked from the sediments and analyzed for Δ15N. The correlation between salmon escapement (spawner abundance) and bulk organic Δ15N confirms the importance of marine‐derived nitrogen to the study lakes. The relation between sediment... |
