The influence of N fertilizer on soil mineral N fluxes, canopy development, and tree growth was studied in a thinned 11-year-old Pinusradiata D. Don plantation. Ammonium sulphate and single superphosphate were applied in an incomplete factorial design, but only the main effects of N application at 0 (control) or 200 kg N•ha−1 are considered here. Spring application of fertilizer increased the quantity of mineral N in the forest floor plus surface soil (0–0.30 m) from 1.2 to 194 kg•ha−1. Within 51 weeks this had fallen to 8.3 kg•ha−1, and after 89 weeks had returned to prefertilizer levels. In the unfertilized soil, rates of net mineralization were low with little seasonal variation. Nitrogen fertilizer increased N mineralization; over the 2 years of measurement fertilized and unfertilized soils mineralized 155 and 77 kg N•ha−1, respectively. There was no net immobilization of fertilizer N. There was no leaching of mineral N from the unfertilized soil whereas 149 kg N•ha−1 was leached below 0.30 m during t...
