Winter nitrate uptake by the temperate deciduous treeQuercus serrata

Abstract: Winter nitrogen use in deciduous species is largely uncharacterized. We investigated nitrate uptake in the fine roots of a deciduous oak (Quercus serrata Thunb. ex. Murray). We conducted a 15 N-labeling experiment using saplings of Q. serrata in the winter. During three weeks of labeled nitrate application, the concentration of 15 N in the fine roots increased significantly. The amount of nitrogen absorbed, as nitrate, was 1.16 ± 1.02 mg N g DW -1 , equivalent to 7.6 ± 5.8% of the total nitrogen content. Our r… Show more

“…in the absence of leaves), as already shown in Japan oak (Ueda et al, 2010). However, in our case, N soil uptake was limited by low soil temperature, which affected the mineralization rate and root activity, since the 15 N recovered from roots slightly decreased between October 28 and December 2 (5.5 to 4 %) and then declined to 1.75 % between 2 December and 8 April.…”

“…When soil (and hence spring N uptake) was labelled (L 3 ) at the beginning of March, a month later most of the 15 N was recovered from microbial biomass and rhizospheric soil (81 %), but a small proportion of 15 N was recovered from the fine roots (1.5 %). The latter demonstrated a small N uptake before budburst, as has previously been observed in Japan oak (Ueda et al, 2010). This early N uptake from the soil could be related to sessile oak's hydraulic properties.…”

“…4). Previous studies have also found that N reserves contribute significantly to leaf expansion in young trees: in white birch (Wendler and Millard, 1996), sycamore maple (Millard and Proe, 1991), Japan oak (Ueda et al, 2009), pedunculate oak (Vizoso et al, 2008) and sessile oak (El Zein et al, 2011a).…”

“…The assimilation of NO 3 --N is an energy consuming process (Bloom et al 1992). When excess light energy is available beyond that required for carbon assimilation, it may be used for New information on plant physiological performance during winter, such as photosynthesis (Miyazawa andKikuzawa 2004, Saarinen et al 2016) and N use (Koyama et al 2008, Onipchenko et al 2009, Ueda et al 2010) is relevant to current considerations of recent climate change (Makoto et al 2014, Sanders-Demott andTempler 2017). The effects have generally been considered in terms of the direct influence of higher temperatures, changes in habitat availability, and extensions of plant growth periods (Walther et al 2002, Cleland et al 2007, Bokhorst et al 2008, Miller-Rushing and Primack 2008, Polgar and Primack 2011.…”
