Abstract

New evidence, obtained using a robust method for measuring the δ15N of NO3--N in soil, is consistent with denitrification being the major determinant in the vertical distribution of NO3-15N in soil profiles. These data also suggest that varying moisture regimes result in different effects of soil NO3--N leaching on residual whole soil δ15N.
