Regional Comparison of Nitrogen Export to Japanese Forest Streams by Hideaki Shibata, Koichiro Kuraji, Hiroto Toda, Kaichiro Sasa

“…In northern Japan, snowmelt resulted in increased nitrate concentrations in stream water. The potential net N mineralization rate was higher in surface soil than in subsurface soil, and the high potential for N mineralization in the surface soil partly contributed to the increase in nitrate concentration in stream water during a storm event. …”
