Abstract:
      The content of NO3-N and NH+4-N was deter mined in the soil profile of 6to 37 age apple orchard on the Weibei dryland. The results showed that the content and distribution of NH+4-N maintain relatively stablein the depths of 0~400 cm soil profile with different planting years. The content and distribution of nitrate nitrogen varied significantly and the content of nitrate nitrogen was 0.31~195.32mg/kg .The accumulation of nitrate nitrogenincreased significantly which was locatedin 40~260cm depths and the maximum nitrate N content was 195.32mg/kg in 100~120 cm depths of 15 age orchard.Large accumulation of nitrate N in the soil profile might lead to potential environmental pollution.
