Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is crucial to explore the nitrogen status of the forest ecosystems due to the management of the healthy forested ecosystems. However, due to the high spatiotemporal variations in nitrogen dynamics even in a small watershed, it is difficult to grasp its nitrogen status. We applied the isotope technique to estimate the gross nitrification rate and the denitrification with the help of the isotopic fractionation factors for different nitrogen processes occurring in the watershed. We found the high gross nitrification rates and denitrification rates in the watershed with more N deposition. However, the efficiency of the nitrogen removal by the denitrification was relatively low in high N deposition sites, indicating that the removal of nitrogen cannot work effectively in nitrogen-polluted sites.
