Abstract:: Fire affair can cause to changes of ecosystem’s carbon or nitrogen cycles and its distribution,and further effect on the local area even global climate change.However,stable isotopic techniques can help us to understand correlations between vegetation and gaseous material caused by fire affair.For better understanding correlations among plant,ash and gaseous by plant burning,controlled experiment was done in order to know changes of nitrogen content and nitrogen stable isotopic composition of different part.The results show that:more than 65% weight of plant and 90% nitrogen content losing by form of gaseous material during burning.Nitrogen isotopic composition of different plant is from -4.0‰ to 5.2‰.Ash nitrogen isotopic composition increased from 0 to 1.6‰,which may be caused by ¹⁴N volatilized by means of gaseous material.The higher correlation was found among plant,plant ash and gaseous material,and the relationship implied us that nitrogen isotopic composition can be used to trace nitrogen cycle mechanism among plant,soil and atmosphere.
