  abstract = {{S}oil nitrogen mineralization patterns were investigated under field conditions in the presence of five leaf litters of different qualities, {F}aidherbia albida, {A}radirachta indica, {A}ndropogon gayanus, {C}asuarina equisetifolia, and {E}ragrostis tremula. {T}he experimentation was conducted in a tropical sandy soil in central {S}enegal over 12 months. {N}o relationship could be drawn between litter quality ({N} content, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin) and {N} mineralization during this field experimentation. {B}y contrast, the presence of the litter modified the soil {N} cycle. {A}t all sampling dates, the patterns of {N} mineralization were most high in litter amendment. {T}he content {O}f mineral {N} was highest in {C}asuarina {I} equisetifolia amendment (17.03 mu g {N} g(-1) soil in {N}ovember 2000, and 28.53 mu g {N} g(-1) soil in {M}arch 2001). {S}oil incubated in the absence of the different litters exhibited a different pattern of {N} mineralization. {N}et mineralization was observed it-hen the soil had been previously submitted to the influence of {C}asuarina equisetifolia (4.87 mu g {N} g(-1) soil), while net immobilization was observed in the case of {A}radirachta indica (8.13 mu g {N} g(-1) soil).},
