Research on nitrogen (N) mineralization from organic residues is important to understand N
cycling in soils. Here we review research on factors controlling net N mineralization as well …

Publisher Summary Soils form a major repository of nitrogen (N) within both natural and
agricultural terrestrial ecosystems, containing, on a global basis, an estimated 2.4 x 10 11 …

Climate change will lead to changes in soil moisture and temperature, thereby affecting
organic matter mineralization and the cycling of biophilic elements such as nitrogen …

Available Nitrogen (N) in soils can originate from many sources including fertilizer N
additions and mineralization of organic N from soil organic matter, crop residues, and …

Nitrogen (N) fertilization for cereal crop production does not follow any kind of generalized
methodology that guarantees maximum nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The objective of this …

Successful nitrogen (N) management requires better synchronization between crop N
demand and N supply from all sources throughout crop growing season. An in-season N …

Most models designed to simulate carbon and nitrogen transformations in the soil have
defined functions to describe the effects of temperature and water content on microbial …

Potential C and N mineralization and soil microbial biomass C were determined following
disturbance (ie drying and sieving) pretreatments in five soils varying in texture (30–350 mg …

Applying only as much N fertilizer as is needed by a crop has agronomic and environmental
benefits. On-farm experiments were conducted at nine sites in the North China Plain (NCP) …

The improved soil Nmin–based N management is a promising approach to precision N
management, which determines the optimum side‐dress N rates based on N target values …
