In this study, a N-15 tracer experiment was carried out to investigate the relative availability of different nitrogen (N) substrates for heterotrophic nitrifiers and to determine the significance of heterotrophic nitrification in two acidic forest soils in eastern China. Five N-15 labeled substrates were applied, i.e. Glycine (4.90 atom% N-15 excess), L-glutamic acid (4.89 atom% N-15 excess), maize straw (3.63 atom% N-15 excess), (NH4)2504 (4.97 atom% N-15 excess), and control and were incubated for 4 days without or with C2H2 at 1 KPa (1%) in laboratory. The results showed that accumulation of N-15-NO3- significantly increased with the incubation time in all N-15 labeled treatments in the presence of acetylene, indicating that NOT produced from heterotrophic nitrification convincingly occurred and heterotrophic nitrifiers could use both ammonium and organic N compounds substrates for nitrification in the studied soils. The N-15-NO3- production in the Glycine and L-glutamic acid treatments in the presence of acetylene was obviously higher than that in the (NH4)(2)SO4 and maize straw treatments (p < 0.05), indicating availability of N substrates for heterotrophic nitrifiers was different. The heterotrophic nitrification of amino organic N compounds could occur via a combined organic and inorganic pathway. However, for complicated organic N substrate, e.g. maize straw in this study, almost all N-15-NO3- was produced by organic N pathway. The contribution of heterotrophic nitrification to total nitrification varied from 23% to 93% in the different N substrate treatments as follows: (NH4)(2)SO4 < amino acid < maize straw. The substrate was an important factor in controlling the significance of heterotrophic nitrification in acidic forest soils. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
