Popis: | Natural 15N concentrations (δ15N values by per mil relative to atmospheric nitrogen) of soybean grains and soils from various locations in Japan were analyzed by a ratio mass spectrometer. The δ15N values of nonnodulating plants showed considerable variations ranging from -3.34 to 11.56‰. The δ15N values of the nodulated plants also differed depending on the location. but mostly they were lower than the values of the nonnodulating plants in each location. The %N derived from atmospheric N2 in the nodulated plants based on the differences in the δ15N values was estimated at 50% as an average of 37 measurements. The δ15N values of the soils where soy beans were grown, showed small variations compared to those of soy bean grains. There was no special relation between the δ15N values of the soils and soybean grains. |
