For the first time, the capacity of soya plants to absorb nitrogen from the air has been precisely determined in dry areas of Eastern Austria. The primary aim of this project, backed by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, is to compare methods for determining nitrogen fixation levels and their application under conditions of drought stress.
