Fig. 3 Comparison between the temperature response of the constant rate of N mineralization k₁ estimated in the present study for the NS Oxisol (30 kPa) and in two temperate soils. Data from the literature were obtained at 30 kPa. Data of Cabrera and Kissel (1988b) were calculated from their constant rate k₁ estimated with the double-exponential model and the Q10 value assumed by these authors based on the results of Stanford et al. (1973)
