Retention of early-spring nitrogen in temperate grasslands: The dynamics of ammonium and nitrate nitrogen differ

In nitrogen (N)-limited temperate regions, winter is an important period of N accumulation. The accumulated N is released during snowmelt and thawing, and the availability peaks in early spring. However, the early-spring dynamics of specific N forms (i.e., ammonium NH4+ and nitrate NO3−) in temperat...
