Characterization of Newly Immobilized Nitrogen-15 in a Typical Illinois Mollisol

Turnover of N through mineralization-immobilization leads to incorporation of fertilizer N into organic forms. In time, part of the immobilized N is converted into biologically resistant humus forms. Attempts to characterize the stabilized N have been unsuccessful, partly because the procedures normally used to fractionate soil humus make little distinction between N in the so-called active and passive phases.
