slide to the test tube racks using office-style binder clips. Twice daily 10 ml  of 37 mM KPO$_{4}$ and 1, 5 and 50 ml of 3.7M glucose were added to each of 3  mesocosms to achieve target C:P resource amendments of 10, 100 and 500  respectively. The goal of the resource ammendements were to create a gradient of labile carbon among treatments. The same amount of P was added to each treated mesocosom to ensure that response to additions of C were not inhibitant by extreme P limitation. The  control mesocosm did not receive any C or P amendments. \subsubsection{DOC and Chlorophyll Measurements}  To assess the efficacy of the C additions we sampled each mesocosm twice
