| Abstract: | A laboratory incubation experiment was conducted to study the effect of NH
4
+
fixation/defixation on the added N interaction (ANI) in three Illinois Mollisols fertilized with 100 or 200 mg N kg-1 soil. A positive ANI was observed in all three soils, which was greater at the higher rate of applied N. However, very little exchange was observed between applied 15NH
4
+
and the native clay-fixed NH
4
+
, and the ANI observed were attributed largely to microbial immobilization-mineralization. The results suggested that variations in the NH
4
+
fixation capacity of soils will not have a significant bearing on the interpretation of data obtained from studies of the ANI. |
