Evidence & Context
Based on this evidence, an optimal functional range for Total Nitrogen in floodplain Vertosols is estimated to be 900 to 1400 mg/kg.
Optimal functional range of Total Soil Nitrogen concentration supporting healthy ecosystem function.
This benchmark represents the optimal range of Total Soil Nitrogen concentration in Vertosol floodplain soils that supports a healthy and resilient ecosystem under best-practice grazing management.
Derived from values observed in high-condition arid and semi-arid sites and higher rainfall semi-arid floodplains.
