    We investigated the independent and interactive effects of nutrient enrichment and snail grazing on structuring periphyton communities in a northern temperate lake. Nutrient releasing substrates and grazer enclosures were used to simultaneously manipulate nutrient availability and herbivory. Periphyton was allowed 18 days to accrue before grazers ( Elimia livescens = Goniobasis livescens ) were introduced.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/42878/1/10750_2004_Article_BF00006063.pd
