Sentence examples for nitrogen immobilization from inspiring English sources

The δ13C and δ15N of biochemical fractions within preserved leaves, reflect sedimentary cycling and nitrogen immobilization.

Compost stability is an important aspect of compost quality as it determines the compost nuisance potential, nitrogen immobilization and phytotoxicity (Lasaridi and Stentiford 1998; Hogg et al. 2002).

The experiments suggested that differences in gross nitrogen immobilization and mineralization rates between the soils were more related to the respiration rate and ATP content than to the C/N ratio.

It should be noted this function appeared to level off and decline at C N larger than 25, approximately the value where microbial nitrogen immobilization limits free soil nitrogen.

Only the transformation step from ammonium to nitrite is investigated in the first test, whereas the whole process from ammonium to nitrate is covered by the second, i.e., that further to the transformation of ammonium to nitrate this test includes additional transformation steps of the nitrogen cycle (release of ammonium from organic nitrogen sources and nitrogen immobilization).

An increase in microbial activity after the addition of labile C in the form of glucose results in nitrogen immobilization (Schmidt et al. 1997).

Biotic and abiotic processes controlling nitrogen (N) immobilization in paddy soils may significantly affect nutrient availability for plant uptake during the rice cropping season, as well as the efficiency of applied N fertilizers.

The decrease in mineral nitrogen after sawdust (high C/N ratio) incorporation is likely due to N immobilization and possibly ammonia volatilization (Reiter et al. 2002).

The decreased in mineral nitrogen after wheat residue incorporation (second crop) can be explained by N immobilization and ammonia volatilization processes occurring as a consequence of having high levels of residue on the soil surface with a high C/N ratio ([Reiter et al. 2002]).

The concepts related to nitrogen mineralization and immobilization, nitrification, and inhibition of nitrification are discussed along with details of denitrification and nitrogen movement in the landscape.

[12 15] Recent research has highlighted the immobilization of nitrogen by tannins in mangrove ecosystems;[16] nitrogen from amino acids is believed to be incorporated into complex, recalcitrant pools of organic matter and preserved in peat sediments.
