Inorganic N pools and net nitrification rates for a calcareous agricultural soil from Utah. Field plots had been treated for four previous years with either no N fertilizer (control), ammonium sulfate 100 kgN/ha (AS 100), ammonium sulfate 200 kgN/ha (AS 200) or steer waste compost at 200 kg N/ha (Compost) under silage corn production. Observations for 2015 growing season for: (A) ammonium N pool size, (B) nitrite +nitrate N pool size, (C) net nitrification rate for octyne-sensitive (AOB) net nitrification, octyne-resistant (AOA) net nitrification, and total net nitrification. Octyne-resistant nitrification rates (AOA) are the shaded bottom portion of each bar, octyne-sensitive nitrification rates (AOB) are the lighter top portion of each bar (Adapted from Ouyang et al., 2017).
