15N Tracing of Microbial Assimilation, Partitioning and Transport of Fertilisers in Grassland Soils
This book presents innovative research on soil nitrogen cycling and nitrate leaching with a view to improving soil management and fertiliser nitrogen use efficiency and reducing nitrogen leaching losses. In this regard, nitrogen-15 (15N)-labelled fertiliser was used as a biochemical and physical sta...
