s:874:"%T Nitrogen availability and soil N2O emissions following conversion of forests to coffee in southern Sumatra %A Verchot L V %A Hutabarat L %A Hairiah, D.K. %A van Noordwijk, M. %X Changes in land use impact on the N cycle with both local and global consequences. We examined how conversion of forest to agriculture in one catchment in southern Sumatra altered N availability and soil N2O emission. Measurements were made along a chronosequence of forest land converted to coffee gardens. A number of different management practices were also examined. Inorganic N stocks and N cycling rates were highest in the forest and lower in the coffee gardens. The forest and young conversion sites appeared to be N limited, whereas the older agricultural sites and the more intensively managed sites were not as strongly N limited. N2O emissions were low in the forest ( ";
