- Which statement offers the best explanation of how deforesting hubbard brooks watershed (W2) affected the nitrogen cycle? 1. Denitrification rates increased, resulting in a decrease in the export of ammonium 2. Microbial immobilization rates increased, resulting in a decline in stream nitrogen 3. Mineralization rates increased, causing the export of ammonium to increase 4. plant uptake nitrogen stopped, resulting in an increase in the export of nitratearrow_forwardOur review of biogeochemical cycles underscores the importance of primaryproduction to ecosystems and biomes, but what controls rates of primary production?arrow_forwardFigure 20.12 Which of the following statements about the nitrogen cycle is false? a.
