The impacts of global environmental change on productivity in northern latitudes will be
contingent on nitrogen (N) availability. In circumpolar boreal ecosystems, nonvascular plants …

This review is part of a series synthesizing peer‐reviewed literature from the past decade on
environmental monitoring in the oil sands region (OSR) of northeastern Alberta. It focuses on …

Boreal peatland Sphagnum may be affected by climate warming and elevated nitrogen
availability directly and indirectly via altering vascular plant interaction. Here, we used a field …

Soil fungal communities are key players in biogeochemical processes of peatlands, which
are important carbon stocks globally. Although it has been elucidated that fungi are …

Ombrotrophic bogs receive new inputs of elements solely through atmospheric deposition,
except for N where inputs are predominantly through N2-fixation, at least in low N deposition …

Abstract Study region The 140,329 km 2 Athabasca Oil Sands Administrative Area (OSAA),
which contains 8982 km 2 of bogs. Since the late 1970s, N emissions from oil sands …

The N2-fixing trees Alnus spp. have been widely encroaching into boreal peatlands, but the
nutrient responses of native vascular plants remain unclear. Here, we compared nutrient …

Peatlands, as important global nitrogen (N) pools, are potential sources of nitrous oxide
(N2O) emissions. We measured N2O flux dynamics in Hani peatland in a growing season …

Sphagnum plants are sensitive to nitrogen deposition changes. However, previous literature
is inconclusive on the response of Sphagnum to nitrogen deposition, little is known about …

Nitrogen and sulfur emissions from oil sands operations in northern Alberta, Canada have
resulted in increasing deposition of N and S to the region's ecosystems. To assess whether …
