Carbon accumulation in recently deposited peat is reduced by increased nutrient supply.

We propose that nutrient availability from weathering processes enhance peat decay in the youngest minerogenic mires studied, resulting in a decreasing trend in lawn decay rates (based on Clymo’s 29 model) with increasing mire age (Fig. 4a , R 2 = 0.9, p = 0.01).
