Description
Soil ammonium N concentration within the profile of a Pennisetum clandestinum (kikuyu) pasture was higher at 0-10 cm and 75-100 cm than at intermediate depths. This contrasted with the pattern in the same soil from an adjacent maizeland. Here, ammonium N concentrations declined with depth, reaching their lowest concentration at 75-100 cm. Soil ammonium N concentrations increased with increasing N applications.
