Subject: Manure effect on plant 15N
Can anyone point me to published information on the effect of animal/human
manure of the NATURAL ABUNDANCE 15N/14N ratio of crop plants?
In particular, comparisons of 15N/14N of manured versus non-manured plants
grown in otherwise identical conditions would be very useful.
Thanks.
