Abstract
In order to differentiate between dilution and biological nitrate uptake along the MFC continuum, short-term conservative tracer additions were performed along two separate study t reaches. Reach A was chosen near the CAF tile drain along a shallow MFC tributary, whereas I •••• the Reach B on the MFC had greater depth and discharged approximately ten times as much water. Conservative tracers are not used by stream biota and therefore reflect the physical processes occurring on a study reach, in this case measuring dilution. During the additions, tracer concentrations were logged at upstream and downstream sites on each reach and compared to•t corresponding nitrate measurements.
