Description:
The %N and @d^1^5N signals in foliar nitrogen (N) from four heathland species have been monitored in a blanket bog plant community subjected to different experimental inputs of wet and dry N deposition. Interactions with combined additional treatments of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) were also investigated. Calluna vulgaris, Cladonia portentosa, Sphagnum capillifolium and Hypnum cupressiforme were harvested for ^1^5N analysis prior to wet and dry treatment applications and again after 16 months field exposure. A significant increase was observed in both %N and @d^1^5N values for all plant species in response to both wet and dry treatments whilst PK additions also produced significant decreases in foliar %N and associated @d^1^5N values for several of the species sampled. These enrichments in the @d^1^5N signals for post-treatment shoot tissue were attributable to the @d^1^5N signal in the source application, a finding of potential value in using bio-monitors for assessment of N deposition.
