Don't get too excited about measured N levels unless your plants are showing
signs of deficiency. The agronomists that I talk to say it is the most
difficult element to measure reliably and the one that can vary quite
quickly because many N compounds are very soluble in water and/or gaseous so
they move about easily.

Or you have so much organic material in the soil, that the
microorganisms consume the N to create a population large enough to
consume the resource of carbon (starch&cellulose), and little N is left
for the plants.
