Abstract: Abstract The predominance of organic nitrogen in stream waters and soil solutions is no proof of plant uptake of organic nitrogen, and could indeed be brought about by the uptake of only inorganic nitrogen, as Addiscott and Brookes claim and standard thinking would have it. Nor did I suggest otherwise1. Yet I maintain that “some standard thinking about how nature deals with nitrogen in soils and waters needs to be re-evaluated”.
