Low Nitrogen Retention in Soil and Litter under Conditions without Plants in a Subtropical Pine Plantation

Low Nitrogen Retention in Soil and Litter under Conditions without Plants in a Subtropical Pine Plantation

Soil acts as a major sink for added nitrogen (N) in forests, but it remains unclear about the capacity of soil to immobilize N under conditions without plant roots and whether added N interacts with ecosystem N to affect N retention. We added 15NH415NO3 to in situ soil columns (with leaching) and le...
