Field studies continue to support the conclusion of Dortch (1990), that the effect of NH4+ on NOs uptake is highly variable. For example, NOs uptake rates in natural assemblages dominated by the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi from the subarctic NE Pacific Ocean were reduced by 50% at NH4 concentrations of 0.24 pM with nearly complete inhibition at 2.2 pM (Varela and Harrison, 1999a). Based on the average ambient NH4 concentrations during these blooms, this translates into a 38—70% reduction in NOs uptake rates, the majority of which occurred...
