Abstract
Potentially mineralizable nitrogen and interlayer ammonium-nitrogen pools of the soil were determined. The mineralization process has an influence on fixation and release of interlayer ammonium. During long-term incubation for determining of the potentially mineralizable nitrogen of soil, the mineralized nitrogen could be affected by the realease of inorganic nitrogen from the other pools, particularly from the interlayer ammonium-nitrogen pool.
Inorganic soil nitrogen pools (exchangeable and interlayer ammonium, nitrite, nitrate), biomass-N and total N before and after long-term incubation were investigated.
No significant difference between the values obtained before and after the incubation were observed for all the pools measured, indicating that they do not interfere with the measurement of potentially mineralizable nitrogen.
