Nitrogen uptake strategies of mature conifers in Northeastern China, illustrated by the 15N natural abundance method

Nitrogen uptake strategies of mature conifers in Northeastern China, illustrated by the 15N natural abundance method

Abstract Background Conifers partition different N forms from soil, including ammonium, nitrate, and dissolved organic N (DON), to sustain plant growth. Previous studies focused on inorganic N sources and specific amino acid forms using 15N labelling, but knowledge of the contribution of DON to matu...
