TL;DR: It is demonstrated that longer-term, large-scale changes to leaf litter decomposition will be driven primarily by both direct warming effects and concomitant shifts in plant growth form composition, with a much smaller role for changes in litter quality within species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric nitrogen deposition promotes carbon loss from peat bogs
Luca Bragazza,Chris Freeman,Timothy G. Jones,Håkan Rydin,Juul Limpens,Nathalie Fenner,Tim Ellis,Renato Gerdol,Michal Hájek,Michal Hájek,Tomáš Hájek,Tomáš Hájek,Paola Iacumin,Lado Kutnar,Teemu Tahvanainen,Hannah Toberman +15 more
TL;DR: It was found that enhanced decomposition rates for material accumulated under higher atmospheric N supplies resulted in higher carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and dissolved organic carbon release and increased N deposition poses a serious risk to peatland C sinks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen content and d15N signature of ombrotrophic Sphagnum plants in Europe: to what extent is the increasing atmospheric N deposition altering the N-status of nutrient-poor mires?
Luca Bragazza,Juul Limpens,Renato Gerdol,P. Grosvernier,Michal Hájek,Tomáš Hájek,Petra Hájková,Ina Hansen,Paola Iacumin,Lado Kutnar,Håkan Rydin,Teemu Tahvanainen +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, Nitrogen concentration and delta(15)N signature of ombrotrophic Sphagnum mosses at different N deposition sites in Europe were analyzed and compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional constraints in ombrotrophic Sphagnum plants under increasing atmospheric nitrogen deposition in Europe
Luca Bragazza,Teemu Tahvanainen,Lado Kutnar,Håkan Rydin,Juul Limpens,Michal Hájek,P. Grosvernier,Tomáš Hájek,Petra Hájková,Ina Hansen,Paola Iacumin,Renato Gerdol +11 more
TL;DR: A critical load of N deposition in Europe of 1 g/m2 year-1 is suggested above which Sphagnum plants change from being N-limited to be K + P colimited, at N : P > 30 and N : K >-3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungi isolated from Antarctic mosses
TL;DR: Within the Antarctic environment, moss is one of the microhabitats richest in microfungi, particularly in psychrophilic indigenous species, and Bryum pseudotriquetrum was the moss richest in fungal species.
