Abstract
Summary: Raised bogs are among the ecosystems most susceptible to atmospheric nitrogen pollution. Based on global data ranging from pristine to heavily polluted areas, a conceptual model is presented to explain the logistic response of these terrestrial carbon reservoirs to increased airborne nitrogen fluxes.Keywords
