Abstract/Contents:"I tested whether the non-fertilizer N supply of grassland soils (NFNS; N uptake on unfertilized plots)affects the relationships between N uptake and dry matter production, N application and N uptake, N application and dry matter production, as well as the optimum fertilizer application rate. At low N uptake rates the amount of dry matter production per kg of N uptake was negatively correlated with NFNS; at higher N uptake levels the correlation was not significant. The apparent nitrogen recovery of fertilizer N was not correlated with NFNS. The optimum fertilizer application rate was correlated positively with the maximum dry matter production (Max DM) and negatively with NFNS. The relationship optimum fertilizer application = -.81-.08 × NFNS + 0.0375 × Max DM accounted for 89% of the variance in optimum fertilizer application rate between soils at a marginal N effect of 7.5 kg dry matter per kg N applied. So an increase in NFNS of 100 kg N resulted in a decrease of the optimum N application rate of 80 kg N."
