Long-term leaching of nutrients from drained peatland after ash fertilisation

The increased use of forest-based biofuels for energy production stresses also the utilisation of wood ash as a forest...

Soil N and humification in three drained peatland forests with different temperature sums

The most important nutrient for forest trees is nitrogen (N). Most peat N is in an organic form, which...

Uncertainty in paired-catchment studies – does nitrogen export increase after forest drainage?

Paired-catchment studies are used to quantify the effect of land management on nutrient export to water bodies. In these...

Do the Vegetation Feedbacks of Nitrogen Deposition Lead to Stronger or Weaker Carbon Sink in a Nutrient Limited Peatland Ecosystem?

Theme X. Peatland carbon budgets and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes SUMMARY We investigated vegetation and ecosystem CO2 exchange at...

Impact of Deforestation on Solid And Dissolved Organic Matter Characteristics Beneath Tropical Peat Forests: Implications for Carbon Release

Theme IX. Tropical peatlands SUMMARY This study investigated solid and dissolved organic matter elemental, molecular and spectroscopic properties in...

Constraints on the Ability of Peatland Ecosystems to Buffer Increasing Nitrogen Deposition

Theme I.  Inventory, stratigraphy and conservation of mires and peatlands SUMMARY Over recent years much attention has been given...

Can Peatland Plants Take Up Organic Nitrogen?
