Bryophytes and Organic layers Control Uptake of Airborne Nitrogen in Low-N Environments

The effects of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on ecosystem functioning largely depend on the retention of N in different ecosystem compartments, but accumulation and partitioning processes have rarely been quantified in long-term field experiments. In the present study we analysed for the first...
