Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization shifted plant community composition toward Sphagnum dominance.
- Mechanism Polytrichum strictum colonized rapidly after fertilization and facilitated Sphagnum establishment.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization increased aboveground biomass accumulation by about 15% at 20 years.
- Intervention effect Fertilization increased plant richness during the first 5 to 10 years.
- Intervention effect Fertilization enhanced spatial heterogeneity in species composition at 20 to 25 years.
- Recommendation The authors advocate mandatory phosphorus fertilization in peatland restoration.
