| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, stable nitrogen and triple oxygen isotopic compositions of nitrate (NO3-) in plant, soil, rainwater and stream water samples were measured to gain more insight into nitrogen cycle in natural forest ecosystems. We have developed a new method to measure stable nitrogen and triple oxygen isotopic compositions of NO3- in plant materials. Plant species, which were used in our experiment, are arboreous plants (pine, oak, sequoia and Japanese cedar), herbaceous plants (e.g. sasa), mosses and lichens. Large triple oxygen anomalies are found in NO3- in sasa species and mosses indicating that almost half of the NO3- in leaves originate from atmospheric NO3-. Triple oxygen anomalies are also found in leaves of arboreous plants leading to our conclusion that leaves contains atmospheric NO3- to some extent. We also extend application of the NO3- isotopes as tracers to quantify the fate of atmospheric NO3- in the entire forest ecosystems.
