Description
Net mineralisation may be underestimated by in situ soil core methods for at least two reasons: (1) absence of plant N uptake in the soil cores, causing higher immobilisation than in intact soil. Schimel & Bennet (2004) thus concluded that plants compete effectively with microbes, as strongly indicated by cases, where net mineralisation was lower than plant uptake. (2) Gaseous losses of N2O in closed cylinders can lead to underestimation especially during long incubation periods, Abril et al. (2001) and Vor & Brumme (2002).
