Nitrogen retention by Hylocomium splendens in a subarctic birch woodland

Nitrogen retention by Hylocomium splendens in a subarctic birch woodland 1 Nutrient dynamics and growth of the feathermoss Hylocomium splendens were studied in a subarctic birch woodland. My aims were to estimate the species’ nutrient use strategy (and its determinants: mean residence time (MRT) and annual nutrient productivity (aNP)) and to unravel possible traits related to nutrient conservation and their implications for ecosystem nitrogen flux. Three methods to estimate nutrient losses in bryophytes were evaluated: a conventional growth analysis technique, a retrospective analysis and a 15N‐tracer approach. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Ecology Wiley

Abstract

1 Nutrient dynamics and growth of the feathermoss Hylocomium splendens were studied in a subarctic birch woodland. My aims were to estimate the species’ nutrient use strategy (and its determinants: mean residence time (MRT) and annual nutrient productivity (aNP)) and to unravel possible traits related to nutrient conservation and their implications for ecosystem nitrogen flux. Three methods to estimate nutrient losses in bryophytes were evaluated: a conventional growth analysis technique, a retrospective analysis and a 15N‐tracer approach.
