A comprehensive field and laboratory study of nitrogen uptake in intertidal seaweeds was undertaken. Methods for measuring nitrogen uptake rates were evaluated. Short initial periods of rapid ammonium uptake were common in nitrogen deficient plants. The presence of ammonium inhibited nitrate uptake...
