2020, GeodermaCitation Excerpt :In our study, DON was the dominant form of extractable N, and this proportion increased from growing season to winter. Similarly, DON was the dominant form and exhibited high temporal variability in BSCs in a semi-arid grassland in Spain (Delgado-Baquerizo et al., 2010). In contrast, these results were not consistent with Xiao et al. (2018), which found that the dynamics of soil inorganic N/DON ratio followed the same pattern as soil NO3−-N /NH4+-N ratio.
