Utilization of nitrogen in the form of either nitrate (NO3−) or ammonium (NH4+) ions may affect the carbohydrate metabolism and energy budget of plants. Recent studies showed that greater expenses of NO3−to NH4+reduction mostly occur in the roots and during darkness. Fertilization of corn with15N-labeled nitrate and ammonium, combined with pulse labeling of plants in a14CO2atmosphere at the V6 and V8 growth stages, allowed us to evaluate the effect of N form on the CO2efflux from soil. NH4+oxidation was inhibited by adding dicyandiamide. In respect to ammonium, nitrate addition increased root-derived CO2efflux from corn by 2.6 times at stage V6 and by 1.8 times at stage V8. The time of peak14CO2efflux from soil also differed between two growing stages: at V6, efflux peaked only on the second day after pulse labeling, while at V8 this occurred within the first 6 h. The strong effect of NO3−and NH4+on root respiration requires considering the N form in the soil and the nitrate reduction site location in a plant when modeling soil respiration changes and when separately estimating individual CO2sources that contribute to the total soil CO2efflux.
