<p class="Default"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Soil organic nitrogen is poorly understood. We know some organic nitrogen compounds are critical for plant nutrition and soil fertility, but not the processes that control
their production and consumption. This is particularly true in grasslands, where grazing animals move large proportions of nitrogen to create spatially complex landscapes with disconnected nitrogen supply and demand. This work will use New Zealand痴 natural
soil development chronosequences to investigate how urine deposition from grazing animals affects the production, bioavailability, and loss of organic nitrogen from ecosystems.
