Abstract
A study has been made of the nutrient status of some waterlogged soils and their plants in the English Lake District. In passing from relatively inorganic lake muds through semi-aquatic soils to raised bog peats, the amount of soil acids increases, base saturation declines, and humus nitrogen also falls. The changes are most marked at the transition from semi-aquatic to raised bog peats. These changes are reflected in the nutrient status of the plants, those from underwater sites being highest in minerals and nitrogen and those from raised bogs lowest in both these constituents.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
