Abstract/Contents: | "The flux of N through mineralization-immobilization turnover (MIT) in grassland soils is a major determinant for plant N uptake and for N loss processess. In this study we investigated the dynamics of gross N transformation rates and potential N retention on mineral fertilizer addition in three permanent grassland soils of varying texture (loamy sand, loam, and clay loam). Gross N transformation rates were calculated with the 15N-tracing model FLUAZ. Differentially 15N-labeled NH4NO3 (at a rate of 100 mg N kg-1 soil) was added to the soild in paired laboratory incubation experiments. Size and 15N enrichement of the NH4+,NO3-, and soil organic N pools were measured at 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, and 30 d after NH4NO3 addition. The accuaracy of the simulations of the data using FLAUZ were robust, but tended to decrease (i) with increasing incubation times, (ii) with increasing duration of the time intervals considered, and (iii) with increasing experimental variability. The proportion of the initial N content mineralized on incubation was largest in the loamy sand soil (2.5%), followed by the clay loam soil (1.2%) and the loam soil (0.8%). The actual gross nitrification and N immobilization activity followed the same trend. The loam soil showed the lowest relative N retention (ratio N immobilization over [gross N mineralization + gross nitrification]), which was attributed to its low C availability. In general, the 15N retention after addition of 15NH414NO3 was approximately five times larger than after addition of 14NH415NO3." |
