CHANGES IN LEAF LITTER WHEN PLACED ON THE SURFACE OF SOILS WITH CONTRASTING HUMUS TYPES: II. CHANGES IN THE NITROGEN CONTENT OF OAK AND ASH LEAF LITTER 1
Abstract
Summary: Different trends have been demonstrated in the changes in composition taking place in sub‐samples of the same ash litter placed in nylon hair‐nets on neighbouring sites with mull and moder‐type humus forms. Similar trends have been shown to occur for oak litter and ash litter placed on the same moder site. The percentage nitrogen content of ash litter on the mull site remains virtually constant during the first 7 months of decomposition whereas on the moder site the content increases steadily for both ash litter and oak litter. The nitrogen content of oak litter is increased by considerable addition from outside. Possible sources of this additional nitrogen are considered. Extraction with hot water of litter at different stages of decomposition shows that the initially large water‐soluble fraction, which is poor in nitrogen, is leached out more quickly from ash than from oak litter.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
