Only cow urine contains ammonia. Deer, elk, sheep, rabbits, and birds does not.
Only cow urine from cows raised on grass fertilized with ammonia contains ammonia.
Because science
Other animals have magic urine which is the liquid equivalent of pixie dust, don’t you know.
so....Toledo, Ohio had to shut down the entire municipal water system last summer due to toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie, which were obviously caused by herds of cattle roaming through the streets and peeing into the Maumee River. ahhhhh....NOW I get it! /s
Cows and other ruminants fill a niche in the ecosystem once filled by buffalo and other ruminants. Those critters which fill those niches do what the other critters did: eat green things, drink water, make more critters, and produce waste from their alimentary canals and renal systems.
What I want to know is how the airborne crystallized pee was tracked, versus waterborne, re-dissolved crystallized pee in runoff.
Furthermore, I want to know how this pee was attributed to any specific genus or species of organism versus any other species or genus of organism that pees.
This “science” sounds like what comes out of another cow opening. Rocky Mountain National Park is a high altitude, headwaters kind of place. Cow pee does not flow up those slopes. And cow pee floats in the air? Seriously? Do these “scientists” know that there is a large elk herd up there?
Seems they just need to toss some copper sulfate into the pond to clear up the algae then.
I think I found a link between BS and politicians...
Nitrogen and CO2 are essential for plant growth. The eco-weenies now term these toxic pollutants.
Increased nitrogen, in the nitrate form which is most useful to plants, will promote increased plant growth which will require more CO2 to be pulled from the atmosphere and be “sequestered” (environmental buzz-word!) by the plants.
BTW, said plants will produce more oxygen for animals and humans.

The science is settled. There is no need for further discussion.
You all are just a bunch of cow pee deniers!!!

It is illegal for cows to be in Rocky Mountain Park. They would not graze at the high altitude like stated. This is just an ignorant hit piece.
There are no cows in Rocky Mtn. Nat. Park and hardly any cows for hundreds of miles west of it. Besides, snow and rain have always been known to contain nitrogen which is highly beneficial to farms and gardens. Plants crave nitrogen.

Cow pee is nothing more than a wasted and misdirected item which can be used to grow beneficial organisms (like carbon sequestering mushrooms) instead of destructive ones (like algae blooms).
what happened when millions and millions of bison peed?
Although there was no fertilizer, there were tens of thousands of times more animals and thousands of times the concentration
the person that dreamed this one up needs a good horsewhipping
I remember when algae blooms were caused by excess phosphorous compounds from laundry detergents.
I guess science is re-invented as required in the 21st century.
Cattle are not contributing to much of it. Herds and grazing leases have been dwindling in size and number. Wildlife have always been most of the cause. Over a hundred years ago, high mountain elevations were home to extremely large numbers of ruminants and predators as compared to now.
It’s always been wise to avoid drinking untreated surface water in CO (bacteria, protozoa,...). People died in the distant past from doing so.
Why is raw nitrogen in our national parks? HINT: Nitrogen comprises about 14% of air!
