<strong>soil</strong> with added N was found during the night periods <strong>and</strong> minimum values were found during the<br />

day (Fig. 1, up).<br />

The difference between plants fertilized by NO3 - -N <strong>and</strong> NH4 + -N in the quantity <strong>of</strong> 14 C<br />

respired, was highest during the first two days after the labeling. After two days already no<br />

significant differences between N treatments were measured (Fig. 1, up).<br />

Cumulative 14 C <strong>respiration</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>root</strong>s <strong>and</strong> rhizosphere microorganisms during six days after<br />

the labeling reached 6.8% <strong>of</strong> assimilated 14 C in <strong>soil</strong> without N fertilization, 8.3% for the NH4 + -N<br />

treatment, <strong>and</strong> 9.3% for the NO3 - -N treatment, <strong>and</strong> was significantly different (p
