Abstract

Aims Despite our current understanding of plant nitrogen (N) uptake and soil N dynamics in arable systems, the supply and demand of N are infrequently matched as a result of variable seasonal and soil conditions. Consequently, inefficiencies in N utilisation often lead to constrained production and can contribute to potential environmental impacts. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of plant residue quality (C/N ratio) and extent of residue incorporation into soil on temporal changes in soil mineral N and the associated plant N uptake by wheat in the semi-arid agricultural production zone of Western Australia.
