Popis: Methods of assessing the N fertility status of ash soils and their relationship to plant parameters were studied in the greenhouse. Soils were collected from forested areas in the Blue Mountains of northeast Oregon. Highly significant regression relationships were obtained between soil N supply and N uptake of orchardgrass tops (R² = 0.97) or top yield (R² = 0.80) with responding ash soils. A polynomial regression model provided for organic, mineral, and fertilizer N supply sources. Soil organic N supply had a significant influence on plant performance over both narrow and broad ranges of fertilizer addition.
