Background and aims: As low initial uptake and essentially zero later uptake limit efficacy of N fertilization for temperate conifers, we investigated factors limiting long-term tree uptake of residual super(15)N-labeled fertilizer. Methods: We used a pot bioassay to assess availability of super(15)N from soil sampled 10 years after fertilization of a Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stand with super(15)N-urea (200 kg N ha super(-1)). Douglas-fir seedlings were grown for 2 years in organic (designated LFH) and mineral soil (0-10 cm) layers reconstructed from control and fertilized plots; residual fertilizer N amounted to 10 % of LHF and 5 % of MIN N. Results: Percentage recovery of residual super(15)N in seedlings was not affected by the original season of fertilization (spring vs. fall), but differed by the source of super(15)N excess. LFH was a better source of residual super(15)N; 12.4 % of residual LFH super(15)N was taken up by seedlings and 7.6 % transferred to soil, whereas mineral soil yielded only 8.3 % of residual super(15)N to seedling uptake and 2.4 % to LFH. Extractable inorganic N was 2-3 orders of magnitude higher in fallow pots. Conclusions: Ten-year residual fertilizer super(15)N was clearly cycling between LFH and mineral soil and available to seedlings, indicating that other factors such as denitrification, leaching, and asynchrony of soil N mineralization and tree uptake limit long-term residual N fertilizer uptake in the field.
