Abstract

The results of studying the isotopic composition of the nitrogen in soils and plants and its use for characterizing the nitrogen cycle in ecosystems, the transformation of nitrogen compounds in soils, the sources of nitrogen nutrition for plants, and the assessment of the symbiotic nitrogen fixation’s contribution to the nitrogen budget of ecosystems were considered for a wide variety of natural and agricultural ecosystems.
