摘要

Conventional studies of nitrogen (N) cycling in forest ecosystems have focused on inorganic N uptake as the primary source of N for plant metabolism. More recently, however, alternative sources of N for plant nutrition, such as free amino acids, have gained attention, particularly in nutrient-limited systems. Using a multiple stable isotope (C-13 and N-15) design, that allowed us to simultaneously assess root uptake of ammonium (NH4+) and glycine, we compared the cycling dynamics of NH4+ and amino acid N within the soils of several interior Alaskan floodplain balsam poplar stands. Our design included multiple sampling periods extending from 45 min to 14 days, which permitted us to study interpool transfers of our carbon (C) and N isotopes over time. Microbial biomass N was the largest sink of both N-15-ammonium and glycine. Percent recovery of N-15 for this pool was an order of magnitude larger than fine-root N-15 uptake for most sampling periods. Although recovery of N-15 in fine-root biomass was small, amino acid N and NH4+ were assimilated at approximately the same rate irrespective of sampling period, and total recovery was still increasing 2 weeks after application. Recovery of N-15 in bulk soil samples did not vary significantly over time for either treatment. However, bulk soil C-13 declined steadily during the experiment, measuring less than 30% recovery of added label after 14 days. We suspect that the majority of C-13 lost from our soils was respired. Soil microorganisms strongly outcompeted plants in the short term for both NH4+ and amino acid N. However, amino acid N appears to cycle through soil N pools at approximately the same rate as inorganic N forms. The similarity in uptake patterns for inorganic and organic N suggests that these stands are meeting part of their N requirements directly from amino acids.
