Long‑term manure application can increase soil pools of recalcitrant organic nitrogen that mineralize slowly and contribute nitrate during periods of low crop uptake. This study developed the RONDIMS model to estimate long‑term accumulation and mineralization of recalcitrant organic nitrogen, predicting substantial cool‑season nitrate production. Field measurements using ion exchange resin/soil cores in Oregon’s Willamette Valley confirmed significant cool‑season mineralization. Method comparisons showed disturbed cores reduced variability but occasionally increased mineralization, highlighting trade‑offs in measurement approaches. 000000201 540__ $$fCC BY 000000201 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000201 650__ $$aNitrogen Oxides$$022950 000000201 650__ $$aSoil$$026162 000000201 650__ $$aNitrogen$$022945 000000201 651__ $$aOregon--Willamette River Valley$$044824 000000201 6531_ $$aagriculture and the environment 000000201 6531_ $$amanure gases 000000201 691__ $$aOGI School of Science and Engineering$$041365 000000201 692__ $$aDepartment of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems$$041414 000000201 7001_ $$aMoberg, Dean$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000201 7201_ $$aJohnson, Rick$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000201 8564_ $$939bcf312-7c18-4d89-8028-4b2625e69348$$s897050$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/201/files/201_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$23b71a27f961fb0740890190b07c3ff5c$$31 000000201 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
