Temporal Variation of N Isotopic Composition of Decomposing Legume Roots and Its Implications to N Cycling Estimates in Tracer Studies in Agroforestry Systems
Figure 5
Simulated evolution of the N pools in (a) the residue application experiment (RA), and (b) the full interaction experiment (FI). Note that inorganic N from the residue (NSR) remains close to zero for most of the time in both experiments as it is quickly absorbed by plant or microbial biomass.
