To evaluate the role of NH4 + assimilates in dark carbon fixation in roots in providing carbon skeletons expended for NH4 + assimilation, the rate of dark carbon fixation in roots was measured using NaH14CO3. The 14C-metabolites were analyzed in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants grown in NH4 + media for various periods of time with or without methionine sulfoximine (MSX) treatment. The dark carbon fixation rate in the roots of wheat plants that had been grown with NH4 + for 1 d was approximately 6-fold higher than the rate in control roots. The stimulation of dark carbon fixation in NH4 +-grown plants, however, was not observed in MSX-treated roots. In the roots of NH4 +-grown plants, the concentration and 14C-Iabeling of acidic metabolites such as citrate and malate considerably decreased whereas those of basic metabolites, especially asparagine, increased noticeably. With MSX treatment, the incorporation of 14C into basic metabolites was negligible. In response to NH4 +, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity increased, and PEPC proteins accumulated in wheat roots. Neither activity nor amounts of PEPC in roots increased in the presence of MSX. These findings suggest that primary assimilation of NH4 + in roots is essential for the stimulation of dark carbon fixation, which coincides with the increased activity of root PEPC, to sufficiently replenish carbon skeletons necessary for NH4 + assimilation.  相似文献

Plant response to increasing atmospheric CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) depends on several factors, one of which is mineral nitrogen availability facilitated by the mineralisation of organic N. Gross rates of N mineralisation were examined in grassland soils exposed to ambient (36 Pa) and elevated (60 Pa) atmospheric pCO2 for 7 years in the Swiss Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment experiment. It was hypothesized that increased below-ground translocation of photoassimilates at elevated pCO2 would lead to an increase in immobilisation of N due to an excess supply of energy to the roots and rhizosphere. Intact soil cores were sampled from Lolium perenne and Trifolium repens swards in May and September, 2000. The rates of gross N mineralisation (m) and NH4+ consumption (c) were determined using 15N isotopic dilution during a 51-h period of incubation. The rates of N immobilisation were estimated either as the difference between m and the net N mineralisation rate or as the amount of 15N released from the microbial biomass after chloroform fumigation. Soil samples from both swards showed that the rates of gross N mineralisation and NH4+ consumption did not change significantly under elevated pCO2. The lack of a significant effect of elevated pCO2 on organic N turnover was consistent with the similar size of the microbial biomass and similar immobilisation of applied 15N in the microbial N pool under ambient and elevated pCO2. Rates of m and c, and microbial 15N did not differ significantly between the two sward types although a weak (p<0.1) pCO2 by sward interaction occurred. A significantly larger amount of NO3− was recovered at the end of the incubation in soil taken from T. repens swards compared to that from L. perenne swards. Eleven percent of the added 15N were recovered in the roots in the cores sampled under L. perenne, while only 5% were recovered in roots of T. repens. These results demonstrate that roots remained a considerable sink despite the shoots being cut at ground level prior to incubation and suggest that the calculation of N immobilisation from gross and net rates of mineralisation in soils with a high root biomass does not reflect the actual immobilisation of N in the microbial biomass. The results of this study did not support the initial hypothesis and indicate that below-ground turnover of N, as well as N availability, measured in short-term experiments are not strongly affected by long-term exposure to elevated pCO2. It is suggested that differences in plant N demand, rather than major changes in soil N mineralisation/immobilisation, are the long-term driving factors for N dynamics in these grassland systems.  相似文献

The response of terrestrial ecosystems to elevated atmospheric CO2 is related to the availability of other nutrients and in particular to nitrogen (N). Here we present results on soil N transformation dynamics from a N-limited temperate grassland that had been under Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) for six years. A 15N labelling laboratory study (i.e. in absence of plant N uptake) was carried out to identify the effect of elevated CO2 on gross soil N transformations. The simultaneous gross N transformation rates in the soil were analyzed with a 15N tracing model which considered mineralization of two soil organic matter (SOM) pools, included nitrification from NH4+ and from organic-N to NO3− and analysed the rate of dissimilatory NO3− reduction to NH4+ (DNRA). Results indicate that the mineralization of labile organic-N became more important under elevated CO2. At the same time the gross rate of NH4+ immobilization increased by 20%, while NH4+ oxidation to NO3− was reduced by 25% under elevated CO2. The NO3− dynamics under elevated CO2 were characterized by a 52% increase in NO3− immobilization and a 141% increase in the DNRA rate, while NO3− production via heterotrophic nitrification was reduced to almost zero. The increased turnover of the NH4+ pool, combined with the increased DNRA rate provided an indication that the available N in the grassland soil may gradually shift towards NH4+ under elevated CO2. The advantage of such a shift is that NH4+ is less prone to N losses, which may increase the N retention and N use efficiency in the grassland ecosystem under elevated CO2.  相似文献

不同铵钾比对高铵下拟南芥地上部和根系生长的影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

钾在缓解植物铵毒害的过程中起着重要的作用。本文研究了高铵(30 mmol/L)条件下,不同铵钾比(7.5︰1和150︰1)对拟南芥(Col-0)主根、侧根以及地上部生长的影响。结果表明:30 mmol/L NH4+条件下,高铵钾比(150)处理显著加重了拟南芥铵毒害现象,地上部和根系生长所受的抑制作用更为明显并导致更严重的氧化胁迫。相比低铵钾比水平,在高铵处理下,高铵钾比使得拟南芥主根伸长量降低57.4%,侧根数量减少33.3%,而地上部鲜重减轻69.9%。DAB(3,3￠-二氨基联苯胺,3,3￠-diaminobenzidine)叶片染色结果表明,不加铵处理下,外源不同钾水平(0.2和4.0 mmol/L)对拟南芥叶片的氧化胁迫作用没有显著差异;而高铵处理下,相比低铵钾比处理,高铵钾比显著增加了叶片中过氧化氢的含量,加重了其氧化胁迫。伊文思蓝(Evans blue,EB)染色结果表明,不加铵处理下,外源不同钾水平对拟南芥地上部和根部的膜透性没有显著差异,而高铵处理下,高铵钾比显著增强了拟南芥地上部和根部的膜透性,表明其对细胞的伤害程度加重。可见,高铵抑制拟南芥根系和地上部生长,高铵钾比则会加重这种抑制,其原因除了高浓度钾能减少植物对铵的吸收外,可能与高铵钾比条件加剧了植物的氧化胁迫有关。因此,适宜的铵钾比在植物应对铵毒害的过程中发挥重要作用。  相似文献

Uptake and assimilation of inorganic N in young rice plants has been studied with labelled N (N-15). Depletion of the plants' carbohydrate content, obtained by a preceding dark period, resulted in a drastic reduction of NH4 +-N uptake. Plants exposed to low light intensity showed diminishing NH4 +-N uptake rates as compared with plants exposed to full light intensity, the latter showing constant NH4 +-N uptake rates during the whole experimental period. The percentage of labelled insoluble N in total labelled N was not significantly affected by a preceding dark period, whereas the low light intensity resulted in a lower proportion of insoluble N in roots and shoots. The incorporation of labelled N into the insoluble fraction (proteins, nucleic acids) was higher in plants fed with NH4 +-N than in those fed with NO3 -.

The uptake of NH4 +-N was not significantly affected by NO3 -, whereas the NO3- uptake rate was considerably reduced in the presence of NH4 +-N. Low energy status of plants affected the nitrate uptake more than the uptake of NH4 +-N. The results show that uptake and assimilation of inorganic N depend much on the energetic status of plants. Nitrate uptake and assimilation is more sensitive to low energy conditions than NH4 +-N.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The addition of carbonates to a nutrient solution to alleviate ammonium (NH4 +) toxicity in hydroponically-grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants was investigated. Stable isotopes [nitrogen (15N) and carbon (13C)] were used to assess the uptake of nitrogen [NH4 + or nitrate (NO3 ?)] as well as carbon [bicarbonate (HCO3 ?)/carbonate (CO3 2?)] by the roots. Ammonium as the sole N source at 5 mM decreased plant fresh weights compared to NO3 ?. However, at lower concentrations of NH4 + (25% of 5 mM total N), growth was increased compared to NO3 ? alone. Inorganic C enrichment [calcium carbonate (CaCO3)] of the nutrient solution increased the fresh weight of NH4 + grown plants with up to 150% relative to control plants receiving calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] for pH regulation. Root 15N enrichment was lower in 15NH4 + supplied plants compared to 15NO3 ?, while the 13C enrichment in leaves was increased by NH4 + nutrition compared to NO3 ? or NH4NO3. The enhanced C capture was associated with high PEPCase activity in the roots. It is concluded that inorganic carbon enrichment of the root medium may alleviate NH4 + toxicity via increased synthesis of C skeletons and, accordingly, increased capacity for NH4 + assimilation and N export to the shoots.  相似文献

Peanut (Arachis hypogea cv. Shulamit) grown on very high calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content soils is showing iron (Fe) chlorosis symptoms. Supplying the plant with ammonium sulphate ((NH4)2SO4) in the presence of nitrapyrin (N‐Serv) for preventing nitrification reduced Fe chlorosis. Nitrate (NO‐ 3) developed in the soil with time, even with nitrapyrin present. When ammonium (NH+ 4) was even less than 20% of the total mineral N in the soil, no Fe‐stress could be observed, suggesting that the NH+ 4 uptake by the plant and the consequence of hydrogen (H+) efflux occurs from the root to the rhizosphere, resulting in a decrease of redox potential near the root, and solubilizing enough Fe near the root to overcome the chlorosis.  相似文献

Annual grasses are stronger competitors for available soil N than blue oak seedlings and soil microorganisms. However, little is known about the dynamics of N competition during annual grass senescence. We conducted a field experiment in a California oak woodland to study effects of annual grass senescence on N uptake by grasses, blue oak seedlings and soil microorganisms. Labeled N was applied at the beginning of April, May and of June in the form of 15NH4+ or 15N-glycine. Plants and soils were harvested after 5 days (15NH4+ and 15N-glycine treatments) and after 26 days (15NH4+ treatment only). We evaluated effects of N form, season and labeling period on N competition among oak seedlings, annual grasses and soil microorganisms. N forms did not affect competition among grasses, oak seedlings and soil microorganisms, but more 15N was incorporated into the soil organic N pool in the 15N-glycine treatments than in the 15NH4+ treatments. There were no seasonal (May vs June) effects on 15N recovery in blue oak seedlings and soil microorganisms. Plant samples from April harvest were lost. In June, when grasses were senescing, more 15N was found in the soil inorganic pool than in May. Extremely dry soils in June may have limited inorganic N availability to oak seedlings and soil microorganisms. After 26-day labeling period, 15N recovery in blue oak seedlings and the soil organic N pool significantly increased, while 15N recovery in both the soil microbial and inorganic N pools decreased compared to the 5-day labeling period. Although blue oak seedling biomass changed little from early May to late June, N concentrations in oak roots increased 53%. In contrast, annual grass biomass peaked in May, and then decreased rapidly. Our results suggest that blue oak seedlings and annual grasses have different temporal competitive abilities. Blue oak seedlings appear to have a long-term strategy for N competition. Blue oaks take up N slowly but steadily, increasing N uptake from 5 to 26 days. This extended time period has a greater positive effect on N uptake than does reduced grass uptake caused by senescence.  相似文献

Summary Leptochloa fusca (L.) Kunth (kallar grass) has previously been found to exhibit high rates of nitrogen fixation. A series of experiments to determine the level of biological nitrogen fixation using 15N isotopic dilution were carried out in nutrient solution and saline soil. In the nutrient solution, E. coli inoculated plants were taken as non-nitrogen-fixing control. It was observed that nearly 60%–80% of the plant N was derived from atmospheric fixation. Estimations based on the N difference method gave much lower values (18%–35%). In experiments with saline soil which was initially sterilized with chloroform fumigation, a mixed culture of N2-fixing rhizospheric isolates from kallar grass roots was inoculated and planted to kallar grass. Uninoculated treatments were regarded as controls. The soil was previously labelled with 15N by adding cellulose and (15NH4)2SO4. The results of these studies showed fixation values of 6%–32% when estimated by 15N dilution, whereas by the N difference method 54% of the plant N was estimated to be derived from fixation. This discrepancy is due to the increase in root proliferation due to inoculation, which results in greater uptake of soil N. The distribution of 15N in different fractions of the soil-N indicted isotopic dilution due to bacterial fixation of atmospheric N2.  相似文献

Nitrogen (N), ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3?), is one of the key determinants for plant growth. The interaction of both ions displays a significant effect on their uptake in some species. In the current study, net fluxes of NH4+ and NO3? along the roots of Picea asperata were determined using a Non-invasive Micro-test Technology (NMT). Besides, we examined the interaction of NH4+ and NO3? on the fluxes of both ions, and the plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPases and nitrate reductase (NR) were taken into account as well. The results demonstrated that the maximal net NH4+ and NO3? influxes were detected at 13–15?mm and 8–10.5?mm from the root apex, respectively. Net NH4+ influx was significantly stimulated with the presence of NO3?, whereas NH4+ exhibited a markedly negative effect on NO3? uptake in the roots of P. asperata. Also, our results indicated that PM H+-ATPases and NR play a key role in the control of N uptake.  相似文献

It is still unclear whether elevated CO2 increases plant root exudation and consequently affects the soil microbial biomass. The effects of elevated CO2 on the fate of the C and nitrogen (N) contained in old soil organic matter pools is also unclear. In this study the short and long-term effects of elevated CO2 on C and N pools and fluxes were assessed by growing isolated plants of ryegrass (Lolium perenne) in glasshouses at elevated and ambient atmospheric CO2 and using soil from the New Zealand FACE site that had >4 years exposure to CO2 enrichment. Using 14CO2 pulse labelling, the effects of elevated CO2 on C allocation within the plant-soil system were studied. Under elevated CO2 more root derived C was found in the soil and in the microbial biomass 48 h after labelling. The increased availability of substrate significantly stimulated soil microbial growth and acted as priming effect, enhancing native soil organic matter decomposition regardless of the mineral N supply. Despite indications of faster N cycling in soil under elevated CO2, N availability to plants stayed unchanged. Soil previously exposed to elevated CO2 exhibited a higher N cycling rate but again there was no effect on plant N uptake. With respect to the difficulties of extrapolating glasshouse experiment results to the field, we concluded that the accumulation of coarse organic matter observed in the field under elevated CO2 was probably not created by an imbalance between C and N but was likely to be due to more complex phenomena involving soil mesofauna and/or other nutrients limitations.  相似文献

The impact of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) may be mitigated, in part, by enhanced rates of net primary production and greater C storage in plant biomass and soil organic matter (SOM). However, C sequestration in forest soils may be offset by other environmental changes such as increasing tropospheric ozone (O3) or vary based on species-specific growth responses to elevated CO2. To understand how projected increases in atmospheric CO2 and O3 alter SOM formation, we used physical fractionation to characterize soil C and N at the Rhinelander Free Air CO2-O3 Enrichment (FACE) experiment. Tracer amounts of 15NH4+ were applied to the forest floor of Populus tremuloides, P. tremuloides-Betula papyrifera and P. tremuloides-Acer saccharum communities exposed to factorial CO2 and O3 treatments. The 15N tracer and strongly depleted 13C-CO2 were traced into SOM fractions over four years. Over time, C and N increased in coarse particulate organic matter (cPOM) and decreased in mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) under elevated CO2 relative to ambient CO2. As main effects, neither CO2 nor O3 significantly altered 15N recovery in SOM. Elevated CO2 significantly increased new C in all SOM fractions, and significantly decreased old C in fine POM (fPOM) and MAOM over the duration of our study. Overall, our observations indicate that elevated CO2 has altered SOM cycling at this site to favor C and N accumulation in less stable pools, with more rapid turnover. Elevated O3 had the opposite effect, significantly reducing cPOM N by 15% and significantly increasing the C:N ratio by 7%. Our results demonstrate that CO2 can enhance SOM turnover, potentially limiting long-term C sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems; plant community composition is an important determinant of the magnitude of this response.  相似文献

The complete carbon budget and the turnover rate of assimilated carbon of ectomycorrhizal Scots pine seedlings growing on natural humus were determined in microcosm conditions. The main aim was to improve understanding of the partitioning of the assimilated carbohydrates within seedlings associated with multiple ectomycorrhizal fungi, and to discover carbon dynamics of the mycorrhizosphere.Plant photosynthesis and below-ground respiration were measured in order to obtain the actual carbon assimilation and respiration rates at the time of measurements. Soon after the photosynthesis and respiration rate measurements the seedlings were pulse-labeled with 14CO2 to follow carbon allocation to different plant, fungal and soil compartments and rhizosphere respiration. Long-term carbon allocation during the entire life span of the seedlings was estimated by measuring plant and mycorrhizal root-tip biomass. The ectomycorrhizal community was analyzed using morphotyping and ITS-sequencing.The 14C label was detected in rhizosphere respiration after 12 h and it peaked between 36 and 60 h after labeling. More than half of the assimilated carbon was allocated below-ground as biomass or respiration and higher mycorrhizal biomass increased the below-ground carbon turnover. The presence of Suillus variegatus affected the plant carbon balance in several ways. When S. variegatus was present, the below-ground respiration increased and this carbon loss was compensated by higher photosynthetic activity. Other fungal species did not differ between each other in their effects on carbon balance. Our findings indicate that some root-associated mycorrhizal fungal symbionts can significantly alter plant CO2 exchange, biomass distribution, and the allocation of recently photosynthesized plant-derived carbon.  相似文献

Sources of CO2 efflux from soil and review of partitioning methods   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  
Five main biogenic sources of CO2 efflux from soils have been distinguished and described according to their turnover rates and the mean residence time of carbon. They are root respiration, rhizomicrobial respiration, decomposition of plant residues, the priming effect induced by root exudation or by addition of plant residues, and basal respiration by microbial decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). These sources can be grouped in several combinations to summarize CO2 efflux from the soil including: root-derived CO2, plant-derived CO2, SOM-derived CO2, rhizosphere respiration, heterotrophic microbial respiration (respiration by heterotrophs), and respiration by autotrophs. These distinctions are important because without separation of SOM-derived CO2 from plant-derived CO2, measurements of total soil respiration have very limited value for evaluation of the soil as a source or sink of atmospheric CO2 and for interpreting the sources of CO2 and the fate of carbon within soils and ecosystems. Additionally, the processes linked to the five sources of CO2 efflux from soil have various responses to environmental variables and consequently to global warming. This review describes the basic principles and assumptions of the following methods which allow SOM-derived and root-derived CO2 efflux to be separated under laboratory and field conditions: root exclusion techniques, shading and clipping, tree girdling, regression, component integration, excised roots and insitu root respiration; continuous and pulse labeling, 13C natural abundance and FACE, and radiocarbon dating and bomb-14C. A short sections cover the separation of the respiration of autotrophs and that of heterotrophs, i.e. the separation of actual root respiration from microbial respiration, as well as methods allowing the amount of CO2 evolved by decomposition of plant residues and by priming effects to be estimated. All these methods have been evaluated according to their inherent disturbance of the ecosystem and C fluxes, and their versatility under various conditions. The shortfalls of existing approaches and the need for further development and standardization of methods are highlighted.  相似文献

A theoretical approach to the partitioning of carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from soil with a C3 vegetation history planted with maize (Zea mays), a C4 plant, into three sources, root respiration (RR), rhizomicrobial respiration (RMR), and microbial soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition (SOMD), was examined. The δ13C values of SOM, roots, microbial biomass, and total CO2 efflux were measured during a 40-day growing period. A three-source isotopic mass balance based on the measured δ13C values and on assumptions made in other studies showed that RR, RMR, and SOMD amounted to 91%, 4%, and 5%, respectively. Two assumptions were thoroughly examined in a sensitivity analysis: the absence of 13C fractionation and the conformity of δ13C of microbial CO2 and that of microbial biomass. This approach strongly overestimated RR and underestimated RMR and microbial SOMD. CO2 efflux from unplanted soil was enriched in 13C by 2.0‰ compared to microbial biomass. The consideration of this 13C fractionation in the mass balance equation changed the proportions of RR and RMR by only 4% and did not affect SOMD. A calculated δ13C value of microbial CO2 by a mass balance equation including active and inactive parts of microbial biomass was used to adjust a hypothetical below-ground CO2 partitioning to the measured and literature data. The active microbial biomass in the rhizosphere amounted to 37% to achieve an appropriate ratio between RR and RMR compared to measured data. Therefore, the three-source partitioning approach failed due to a low active portion of microbial biomass, which is the main microbial CO2 source controlling the δ13C value of total microbial biomass. Since fumigation-extraction reflects total microbial biomass, its δ13C value was unsuitable to predict δ13C of released microbial CO2 after a C3-C4 vegetation change. The second adjustment to the CO2 partitioning results in the literature showed that at least 71% of the active microbial biomass utilizing maize rhizodeposits would be necessary to achieve that proportion between RR and RMR observed by other approaches based on 14C labelling. The method for partitioning total below-ground CO2 efflux into three sources using a natural 13C labelling technique failed due to the small proportion of active microbial biomass in the rhizosphere. This small active fraction led to a discrepancy between δ13C values of microbial biomass and of microbially respired CO2.  相似文献

Nitrogen (N) metabolism is of great economic importance because it provides proteins and nucleic acids which in turn control many cellular activities in plants. Salinity affects different steps of N metabolism including N uptake, NO3? reduction, and NH4+ assimilation, leading to a severe decline in crop yield. Major mechanisms of salinity effects on N metabolism are salinity-induced reductions in water availability and absorption, disruption of root membrane integrity, an inhibition of NO3? uptake by Cl?, low NO3? loading into root xylem, alteration in the activities of N assimilating enzymes, decrease in transpiration, and reduction in relative growth rate which results in a lower N demand. However, the effects of salinity on N metabolism are multifaceted and may vary depending on many plant and soil factors. The present review deals with salinity effects on N metabolism in plants, emphasizing on the activities of N metabolizing enzymes in a saline environment.  相似文献

Zinc ammonium acetate (ZAA) is applied to soil with anhydrous ammonia as a carrier to improve corn (Zea mays L.) productivity. To study the fate of ZAA in the soils, a laboratory leaching experiment was conducted with 14C-ZAA and 65Zn-ZAA using water or NH4OH as carrier. Results showed that ZAA degraded in the soil and released CO2. The released CO2 was from the acetate component of ZAA and accounted for less than 0.06% of the total applied 14C. Using H2O as carrier resulted in more CO2 release than using NH4OH, regardless of soil type. However, more 14C was detected in the leachate when using NH4OH as a carrier than when using H2O. A plant uptake experiment using 14C-ZAA and 65Zn-ZAA indicated that four-leaf-stage corn seedlings absorbed higher amounts of 14C in the stem and root than in the leaves. The 65Zn was detected in most tested plant parts. Our study showed that ZAA enhanced cytokinin levels in root and/or shoot tissues of corn seedlings, suggesting a secondary regulatory effect of ZAA in improving corn productivity.  相似文献

Sources of competition for limited soil resources, such as nitrogen (N), include competitive interactions among different plant species and between plants and soil microorganisms (microbes). To study these competitive interactions, blue oak seedlings (Quercus douglasii) were grown alone or grown together with an annual grass, wild oats (Avena barbata) in pots containing field soil. We injected 15N-labeled ammonium, nitrate or glycine into the soil of each pot and harvested plants 5 days later. Plant shoots and roots, soil microbial N and soil KCl-extractable N were analyzed for 15N content. When oak and grass were grown together, 15N recovery from the inorganic N treatments (NH4+, or NO3−) was 34, 9 and 4% for the grass, microbes and oak seedlings, respectively, and only 1% remained as KCl-extractable N. 15N recovery from the glycine treatment was 18, 22, 5% for the grass, microbes and oak seedlings, respectively, and 4% remained as KCl-extractable N. When oaks were grown alone, 15N recovery by soil microbes was 21, 48 and 40% in the NO3−, NH4+ and glycine treatments, respectively. N forms had no effects on 15N recovery in oak seedlings (7%) and in KCl-extractable N pool (13%). In general, total N recovery by the grass was much greater than by oaks. However, on a fine root surface area or length basis, oaks exhibited higher N uptake than the grass. Our results suggest that the high rooting density and rapid growth rate of the annual grasses such as Avena barbata made them superior competitors for available soil N when compared to blue oak seedlings and to microbes. Soil microbes were better competitors for organic than inorganic N when annual grasses were present, but preferred NH4+ when competing only with oak seedlings.  相似文献
