The cascade of C:N:P stoichiometry in an ombrotrophic peatland: from plants to peat

The cascade of C:N:P stoichiometry in an ombrotrophic peatland: from plants to peat

Northern peatlands are important carbon (C) sinks and while the patterns of C accumulation have been frequently investigated, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) accumulation are often neglected. Here we link the C:N:P stoichiometry from foliar plant tissues, through senescent litters to peat, and deter...
