Fate of N in a peatland, Whim bog: immobilisation in the vegetation and peat, leakage into pore water and losses as N<sub>2</sub>O depend on the form of N
Peatlands represent a vast carbon reserve that has accumulated under conditions of low nitrogen availability. Given the strong coupling between the carbon and nitrogen cycles, we need to establish the consequences of the increase in reactive nitrogen deposition for the sustainability of peatlands, a...
