Abstract
Ombrotrophic peatlands depend on airborne nitrogen (N), whose deposition has in-creased in the past and lead to disappearance of mosses and increased shrub biomass in fertilization experiments. The response of soil water content, temperature, and carbon gas concentrations to increased nutrient loading is poorly known and we thus determined these data at the long-term N fertilization site Mer Bleue bog, Ontario, during a two month period in summer. Soil temperatures decreased with NPK addition in shallow peat soil primarily during the daytime (t-test, p<0.05) owing to increased shading, whereas they increased in deeper peat soil (t-test, p<0.05), probably by enhanced thermal conduc-tivity. These effects were confirmed by RMANOVA, which also suggested an influence of volumetric water contents as co-variable on soil temperature and vice versa (p<0.05). Averaged over all fertilized treatments, the mean soil temperatures at 5 cm depth de-creased by 1.3°C and by 4.7 °C (standard deviation 0.9 °C) at noon. Water content was most strongly affected by within-plot spatial heterogeneity but also responded to both N and PK load according to RMANOVA (p<0.05). Overall, water content and CO2 concen-trations in the near-surface peat (t-test, p<0.05) were lower with increasing N load, sug-gesting more rapid soil gas exchange. The results thus suggest that changes in bog eco-system structure with N deposition have significant ramifications for physical parameters that in turn control biogeochemical processes.
