Ecosystem metabolism controls nitrogen uptake in streams in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
Abstract
Streams and rivers regulate nitrogen transport (N) to downstream ecosystems. Rates of N uptake can be high in streams, but controls on the variation in uptake rates of N among streams are not known. We measured ammonium (NH+4) and nitrate (NO−3 ) uptake velocities (V f) and compared these with whole‐reach estimates of gross primary production (GPP) and community respiration (CR) in 11 low‐nitrogen streams in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. We predicted that increased metabolism would positively relate to higher N demand because of stoichiometric N requirements associated with carbon fixation. Rates of GPP and CR explained 82% of variation in NH+4 V f. Nitrate V f was controlled by GPP, not CR, with GPP explaining 75% of variation in NO−3 V f. Nitrate concentrations did not increase downstream during NH+4 addition in all streams, including streams with zero NO−3 uptake, suggesting low nitrification rates relative to NH+4 uptake. Using a stoichiometric model, we show that areal N uptake estimated from microbial and algal production was similar to measured areal N uptake. High primary production could be a prerequisite for streams exhibiting high NO−3 uptake rates.

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.
