- Title
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE NUTRIENT TURN-OVER IN A BOG COMMUNITY DOMINATED BY ERIOPHORUM VAGINATUM L.
- Authors

- Abstract
The importance of mineral nutrients for the growth and distribution of bog vegetation has been much discussed in Sweden in recent years. The distribution of many mire plants is correlated to certain chemical characteristics of the water or substrate, and marked changes in vegetation have occurred after addition of mineral fertilizers. Yet the causal connections between environmental factors and plant occurrence are little known. This article presents findings of an experiment describing the nutrient turn-over in a bog community dominated by Eriophorum vaginatum.
