Understanding wheat straw nitrogen (N) transformations in soil depending on tillage practices is necessary to increase the efficient N use and to protect dryland farming environments. Labile organic N pools are crucial for N mineralization but are less investigated because of their fast dynamics. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of winter wheat straw N (15N-labelled) on soil labile organic N transformations under long-term (27 years) no-tillage and conventional tillage. Four treatments were established under controlled conditions: no-tillage without straw (NoTill); no-tillage with 15N-labelled wheat straw (NoTill+Straw); conventional tillage without straw (ConvTill); and conventional tillage with 15N-labelled straw...
