Nearby without had contents that were one two orders magnitude lower. soil conditions coincident with (i.e., stability, antiquity, virtually no leaching) favor retention accumulation delivered atmospheric deposition or situ fixation. stored under is previously unrecognized pool nitrogen has potential increase global inventory five times previous estimates. Its occurrence makes labile particularly susceptible mobilization climate change human disturbance, risking contamination surface groundwaters.
