Short summary
Nitrogen isotope ratios (δ15N) of NH4+ in dairy manure compost piles were studied. The δ15N–NH4+ values in different pile zones (top, side and core) show that extremely high nitrogen conversion, nitrification–denitrification activity of the microbes and NH3 volatilization occurred in pile top zone, which has very high NH4+ concentrations and significantly high 15N (δ15N: 12.7–29.8 ‰) values.
