Ammonia,
Nitrite,
Can extra air stones,
Carbon filters,
Release either,
These two harmful elements,
Into the air,
Do these elements, rise,
Does water temp,
Effect the concentration,
Can live plants,
Subdue the elements

Is this a poem? Or do you have a question?

..doubt it.

Do these elements, rise,

rise? they will rise until your cycle completes. Then they will lower and your nitrates will begin to rise.

Does water temp,
Effect the concentration,

Not that I've ever experienced.. Water temp will effect your oxygen content however.

Can live plants,
Subdue the elements

once the cycle is complete your live plants will use nitRATE as food.

they are in such small quantities they would be undetectable in air, but since they are consumed by bacteria in the aquarium there wouldn't be any escaping into the air

No

Concentration- no. Impact- yes.

Live plants will consume nitrates and other carbons, and has no relationship to a tank's cycle.

Live plants will use ammonia, too. Live plants will use ammonia before they use nitrates, I think. MP?
