Nitrification Potentials in Primary and Secondary Succession
Abstract
Potential nitrogen mineralization and nitrification were measured in soils from a primary successional sequence developed on sand dunes and from a secondary successional sequence on old fields. Potential nitrogen mineralization in soils from the primary sere increased through the first five stages and then leveled off. Nitrogen mineralization was relatively constant in soils from the secondary sere, except that the highest rates were observed in the oldest site. Nitrification was very closely correlated with nitrogen mineralization in soils from both the primary and secondary seres. Only one site had both substantial nitrogen mineralization and low nitrification. The results of this study do not support the hypothesis that nitrification is progressively inhibited in the course of ecological succession.

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.
