Abstract The average annual rate of carbon production in Cayuga Lake, New York, was determined by 14C uptake and by a phosphorus supply method. The rate of phosphorus supply was converted to units of carbon production using observed sestonic C : P ratios. The two methods gave good agreement and annual carbon production was estimated to be 130 gC m−2 yr−1.
