New and regenerated production during a late summer bloom in an Arctic polynya
Bibliographic record
Abstract
New and regenerated production were estimated from nitrate, ammonium and urea uptake in the highly productive North Water region (NOW, northern Baffin Bay) during the late summer bloom and its decline in early autumn 1999. Nitrogen uptake rates decreased due to a significant 4-fold reduction of the average irradiance in the euphotic zone between these 2 periods. Nitrate availability also regulated the relative uptake of nitrate (ratio of nitrate uptake to total nitrogen uptake, or f-ratio) over spatial scales in early autumn. Stations located along the Greenland coast, which had relatively warm (-0.5C) and saline (32.5) waters, had higher nitrate concentrations (153 vs. 51 mmol N m -2 ) and f-ratios (0.36 vs. 0.16) than those of stations located on the Canadian side, where the euphotic zone was relatively colder (-1.4C) and less saline (30.6). The f-ratios were also corrected for nitrogen uptake by heterotrophic bacteria using the results from experiments that employed specific metabolic inhibitors. The corrected f-ratio range of 0.24 to 0.41 considered only the fraction of the nitrogen uptake due to phytoplankton in order to obtain a more accurate estimate of new production. Based on this range, new production varied from 203 to 346 and 85 to 145 mg C m -2 d -1 in late summer and early autumn, respectively. For the entire sampling period, averaged new production was 132 to 228 mg C m -2 d -1 ; however, when the dissolved form was included, we estimated that new production may double to between 262 and 452 mg C m -2 d -1 . This estimate illustrates that dissolved forms can be significant and need to be considered. When combining our results with those from the literature, new production in the NOW in 1998 -99 amounted to between 143 and 152 g C m -2 yr -1 , suggesting that 60% of the total annual primary production may potentially be exported from the euphotic zone. This study completes the first annual time series of new production in a high-latitude ecosystem.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
