Description

In this study nitrogen-15 tagged organic matter was used to estimate the nitrogen derived from organic matter, nitrogen fixation and soil, using sugarcane and soybean as test plants. The authors concluded that the use of nitrogen-15 labelled organic matter seems a useful approach to the longer term measurements of nitrogen fixation. (Auth.)
