Nitrogen transformations in fertilized alpine dry and moist meadow soils

Net nitrogen mineralization, nitrification, and microbial nitrogen were measured in dry and moist meadow plots on Niwot Ridge from early June to mid-October 1992. Dry meadow plots in the City of Boulder Watershed had been fertilized with N during the two years prior to measurements, and both dry and moist meadow plots in the Saddle were being watered and fertilized concurrent to measurements. Supplementary Information: The information for the abstract, investigator, Geographic Description: Study areas included a south-facing site in the city of Boulder Watershed, and east- and west-facing sites on the Saddle.
