Storm‐driven nutrient loading from tributaries can fuel eutrophication in nearshore and open water areas of lentic ecosystems. However, nutrient processing in river‐to‐lake transitional zones can substantially alter the amount and composition of nutrients transported to lakes from upstream surface w...
