摘要: Water-bound nitrogen (N) cycling in temperate terrestrial ecosystems of the Northern Hemisphere is today mainly inorganic because anthropogenic release reactive N to environment. In little-industrialized and remote areas, contrast, a larger part occurs as dissolved organic (DON). north Andean tropical montane forest Ecuador, cycle changed markedly during 1998–2010 along with increasing deposition reduced soil moisture. The DON concentrations fractional contribution total significantly decreased rainfall, throughfall, solutions. This turn was most pronounced rainfall became weaker flow path water through system until it disappeared stream water. Decreasing contributions were caused not only by input but also production and/or enhanced decomposition. Accelerated decomposition might be attributable less waterlogging higher nutrient availability. Significantly NO3-N NO3-N/NH4-N concentration ratios throughfall litter leachate below thick layers indicated nitrification. mineral solutions, NH4-N increased significantly, suggesting net ammonification. Our results demonstrate that forests on rim Amazon basin experienced change one decade. likely parallels similar which followed industrialization zone more than century ago.
