This final report comprises the results of a two-year study of water quality and phytoplankton productivity on selected larger lakes in Voyageurs National Park (VOYA), Minnesota. The objectives were to (1) acquire baseline data to establish a benchmark against which future change can be assessed in nutrient chemistry, biomass, and primary productivity; (2) to collect and analyze sufficient physical, chemical and biological data to validate and quantify differences in lake trophic states; and (3) to employ a simple mass-balance nutrient model to investigate possible mechanisms by which water level modification may influence lake productivity.
