To quantify and identify soil N species over a full growth season, small volumes of soil were removed from each sampling site 5 times during the field season and extracted in the laboratory. At the same time, soil pore water was extracted using Rhizon soil water samplers. Soil temperature was monitored at sampling times and ambient air temperature was monitored at each site throughout the field season. asNeeded completed
