Nitrification in Chukchi Sea bottom waters oxidizes significant amounts of regenerated ammonium, which increases the pool of nitrate available for denitrification and changes the nutrient balance of this water prior to export to the Canada Basin. However, little is known about the ammonia-oxidizing microbial communities in Chukchi Sea waters. We used quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays to determine the abundance and transcriptional activity of both ammonia-oxidizing Archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria (AOB) along coastal Chukchi Sea bottom waters, as well as waters of Atlantic-origin over the Beaufort slope. While AOA significantly outnumbered AOB in deeper Beaufort slope waters, AOB were more abundant at most coastal stations, potentially due to a greater concentration of regenerated ammonium trapped in coastal bottom waters. Quantification of 2 marine AOA ecotypes, Water Column A (WCA) and Water Column B (WCB), showed a surprisingly high abundance of WCB, generally considered a deep-water ecotype, in shallow coastal waters as well as deep slope waters, likely due to transport via shelfbreak upwelling. Transcript abundances also suggested WCA and WCB in coastal waters were transcriptionally active at comparable levels. The relatively high abundance of AOB and WCB suggests the Chukchi Sea has unique ammonia-oxidizing communities compared to most shallow coastal oceans, highlighting the importance of regional biogeochemical processes (ammonium regeneration) and physical processes (upwelling) in structuring coastal microbial communities.

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 it
