Abstract

The utility of 15 N isotope dilution models for the calculation of uptake and remineralization of NH 4+ by marine phytoplankton was examined in light of model limitations when applied to field data either when ambient NH 4+ levels border on our limit of detection or when there is no statistically significant difference between ambient NH 4+ at the beginning and end of an incubation. Through specific examples of field and laboratory data we show that the limitations are a function both of analytical error inherent in the methodology and of changes in rates of uptake and remineralization over the course of a given experiment. We propose modifications to the existing models of NH 4+ uptake and remineralization which overcome some of these limitations. The results show that uptake rates have been traditionally underestimated by a factor of ≈2 in routine 15 N uptake methodology and that regeneration of NH 4+ over relatively brief periods can supply the daily nitrogen requirements of the phytoplankton when there are no losses from the system.

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.
