Each summer the Arctic LTER monitors physical and chemical parameters in Toolik as well as several other lakes in the area. In conjunction with long term monitoring several whole lake ecosystem experiments have been carried out in order to understand nutrient cycling and trophic interactions. Below is a description of several of these lakes as well as a link to more detailed description of each lake.
