There is a dearth of information on the N cycle in Pinus harwtegii forests. This information is critical to propose and implement innovative forest management strategies to face climate change effects. This work presents results from one experiment with young trees to study the absorption of two forms of inorganic nitrogen (Ammonium and Nitrate). Sites with two elevation levels (3,500 and 3,900 m) and two aspects (northwest and southwest) were included, using a 23 factorial experiment. Additionally, soil surface N mineralization (10 cm) was measured. N uptake was measured using isotopically 15N-labeled sources of ammonium sulfate and potassium nitrate, with enrichments of 49.2 and 56.7 atom %, respectively. Results indicated that the percentage of nitrogen derived from labeled source (NDDF) in foliage, was higher in the southwest aspect. However, the net mass recovery of 15N was higher in the northwest aspect (P<0.05), due to higher foliar mass in this direction. Nitrate uptake was 63% higher than ammonium (P<0.05). Except for specific dates, the annual mineralization of N (Ammonium, nitrate) did not show differences with respect to elevation and aspect. P. hartwegii is well adapted to seasonal variations in the acquisition of two inorganic N forms, which has allowed the species to colonize adverse highland sites. Low stands of P. hartwegii (3500 m) with southwest aspects are the most susceptible to alterations of the N cycle.
