This proposal requests funds to purchase a Europa Scientific                    automated 15N/13C analysis system and associated peripheral                     equipment.  The automated mass spectrometer system will be a                    self-supported, multiple user facility.  Currently, we have                     identified projects in oceanography, soil science, botany,                      entomology, and forest science that will benefit directly from                  the purchase of this analytical system.  This instrumentation                   will allow us to conduct 15N and 13C tracer experiments in                      terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.  The proposed research that                 would utilize the 15N/13C system includes the following studies:                (1) N mineralization-immobilization and microbial biomass                       dynamics in soils and ocean waters; (2) transport of N compounds                between plants through mycorrhizal hyphal connections; (3)                      associative N -fixation; (4) symbiotic N -fixation in legume-                   Rhizobium and actinorhizal-Frankia systems; and N uptake by                     phytoplankton and bacteria in marine ecosystems.
