What about organic nitrogen?
1%
99%
Inorganic NOrganic N
Credits: Bormann et al., Science, 1977
Organic N turnover supports the majority of ecosystem production in most ecosystems
‘Breaks in the Cycle’: Increased organic N losses?
Anthropogenic N Additions
Saturated Plant Demand
INCREASED ORGANIC N LOSSES
