I say one just the other day that was NH4+ but do not remebmer where. I'll rack my brain.

each species can potentially contribute to biochemical processes

Yup and is why it is std

1 mg NH4-N = 1 mg NO2-N = 1 mg NO3-N

True but that is very misleading to a point;

1 ppm ammonia (yields) --> 2.7 ppm nitrite(yields) --> 3.6 ppm nitrate(yields)

Ammonia x 3.6 = Nitrate ppm
Ammonia x 2.7 = Nitrite ppm
