Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we calculated nitrite transformation rates and traced the fates of nitrite to detect its consumption pathway using nitrogen stable isotope (15N) in forest surface soils. As a result, fast production and consumption of nitrite was observed universally. Nitrite transformation rates and consumption pathway vary according to soil conditions. It was indicated that the conversion to dissolved organic nitrogen and nitric oxide were important as the pathway of nitrite consumption. These findings are required to elucidate the mechanisms of conservation / emission of available nitrogen for plants and microbes in soils.
