Location symbols are defined in Materials and Methods. Net nitrogen mineralization rates (Nmin) were measured over 10 days of incubation and are given in micrograms of N g of soil⁻¹ day⁻¹. Means in columns followed by the same superscript capital letter are not significantly different at P = 0.05. Nov, November.
