Nitrogen Fixation in the Phyllosphere of the Douglas Fir, Pseudotsuga douglasii

K. JONES

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Lancaster

Accepted: 31 July 1969   

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria have been isolated from the leaf surfaces of the Douglas Fir. 15N tracer studies have shown that these bacteria fix nitrogen in culture and in the field on the trees. A considerable proportion of the annual requirement for nitrogen by Douglas Fir may be provided by nitrogen-fixing bacteria on the leaves and in the soil.
