Description
Nitrogen mineralization in peat soil under grassland was measured after different nitrogen fertilization. Dependent on the N- level in these N- rich soils and their high mineralization rate the increase of dry matter yield is relative small. Fertilizer ammonium is rapidly oxidized to nitrate. According to the nitrate content during the vegetation period in spring, when these acid soils are wet and cold, plants need a higher ammonium or nitrate supply by nitrogen fertilizing.
