The movement of organic carbon into the mineral soil profile was increased by a factor of 2 to 3 following urea application to the forest floor. Approximately 74% of the organic carbon movement occurred during the first 3 months following treatment. Phosphorus treatment and the interaction of nitrogen and phosphorus did not produce a statistically significant response.
