1. Cool Season Mineralization of Recalcitrant Organic N in Undisturbed Cores of Manured Soils

The objectives of this study were to (1) quantify cool season N mineralization from recalcitrant organic N in soils with a long history of manure application and (2) examine the relationship between cool season recalcitrant organic N mineralization and a fall mineralizable N index. “Cool season” was defined as October to February for fields with winter crops and October to May for fields with no winter crops. Two in situ trials were conducted with undisturbed soil... D. Moberg, D. Sullivan, R. Johnson
