• Keywords: aerial liming; eutrophication; immission; nutrient limitation; peatland
• Description: Regional climate and local forestry practices are expected to alter nutrient stoichiometry in Sphagnum mosses at high atmospheric N deposition in Central-East Europe. Sphagnum plants have lower N:P ratio than woul dbe expected from deposition load.
