Decomposition in an ombrotrophic bog and a minerotrophic fen in Minnesota
Journal Article
·
· Soil Sci.; (United States)
Using mass-loss and CO/sub 2/-evolution techniques, the authors evaluated the decomposition of peat in an ombrotrophic bog in northern Minnesota. They also compared decomposition potentials, using uniform material (cellulose), between the bog and a nearby minerotrophic fen. Mass loss decreased with increasing depth in the peat due to environmental and substrate limitations. Mass-loss from cellulose was greater in the fen than in the bog.
