Abstract

Agriculture and urbanization are important sources of N input to aquatic ecosystems, and this input is tending to increase as agricultural practice is intensified and as urban populations increase. Although a great deal of information is readily available on the concentrations of nitrate entering lakes, lochs and rivers, less is known about the precise fate of the added N, how it is cycled within ecosystems, and the ways in which it is lost from ecosystems. This paper presents information obtained from selected habitats in the northern U.K. on the quantitative significance of N inputs from agriculture and urbanization, and on the ways in which the added N is cycled. Particular attention is paid to key microbiological processes involved in such cycling and to the environmental factors that affect these.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
