Nitrogen Release in Pristine and Drained Peat Profiles in Response to Water Table Fluctuations: A Mesocosm Experiment

Figure 2

(a) Mean (±SE) concentrations of DON in different experimental groups at phases 1–4. except at phases 3 and 4 in DrCtrl, where . (b) Mean (±SE) concentrations of in different experimental groups at phase 0, that is, at the end of the low water table, and at phases 1–4, that is, during the high water table. except at phase 0 in PrFluc, where , and in DrFluc, where . See the results of the statistical analyses from Tables 2 and 3. Pr = pristine, Dr = drained, Ctrl = control, and Fluc = fluctuating water table.
