The environmental controls that govern the end product of bacterial nitrate respiration
Open accessAbstract
How microbes compete for nitrate: Much of the ammonia fertilizer we use ends up in surface or coastal waters as nitrate. This runoff lowers water quality and damages ecosystems. Although microbial nitrogen respiration influences the fate of nitrate, it is unclear which environmental factors exert the most control. Kraft et al. performed multiple long-term incubation studies of microbial communities from marine sediments. The relative supply of nitrate and nitrite, as well as total carbon and nitrogen, provided selective pressures that drove communities toward denitrification or ammonification. The average generation time of the community also strongly influenced which respiration pathway dominated. Science , this issue p. 676

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.
