Abstract: Ninety-three soil samples and 19 sedimentary rock samples collected from 21 provinces of China wereanalyzed for their contents of fixed ammonium and total N by Kjeldahl-HF method. Results showed thatamount of difficultly extractable fixed ammonium (the fixed ammonium that is not determinable by Kjeldahlprocedures commonly used for soils) in soils ranged from 0 to 202 mg kg--1. It was generally more than50 mg kg--1 in soils in Chanaii and Thrpan districts, Xinjiang, accounting for 3.2%~36.8% with an averageof 13.9% of the total N. For some Orthents derived from purple shale and purple sandstone in Sichuan andHunan provinces and Chao soils derived from secondary loess in Henan Province and Ningxia AutonomousRegion it was generally around 30 mg kg--1 , accounting for 4%~7% of the total soil N, and for most of therest of soils studied, with the exception of some subsoils, no or trace difficultly extractable fixed ammoniumcould be detected. It was suggested that the difficultly extractable fixed ammonium was originated fromParent rock, and for slightly weathered soils derived from parent materials rich in this form of N the Kjeldahlmethod might give underestimation of total soil N.
