This study evaluated the interactive effects of combined phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) additions on canopy nitrogen (N) retention (CNR) and subsequent canopy leaching at a long-term N manipulation site on Whim bog in south Scotland. Ambient deposition is 8 kg N ha−1year−1and an additional 8, 24, and 56 kg N ha−1year−1of either ammonium (NH4+) or nitrate (NO3−) with or without P and K has been applied over 11 years. Throughfall N deposition belowCalluna vulgarisand foliar N and P concentrations were assessed. Results showed that 60% for low dose and 53% for high dose of NO3−contrasting with 80% for low dose and 38% for high dose of NH4+ontoCallunawas retained byCallunacanopy. The CNR was enhanced by P and K addition in which 84% of NO3−and 83% of NH4+for high dose were retained. CNR for NO3−increased the canopy leaching of dissolved organic N (DON) and associated organic anions. NH4+retention increased canopy leaching of magnesium and calcium through ion exchange. Even over 11-years N exposure without P and K, foliage N:P ratio ofCallunadid not increase, suggesting that N exposure did not lead to N saturation ofCallunaat Whim bog. Our study concluded that increases in P and K availability enhance CNR ofCallunabut accelerate the associated canopy leaching of DON and base cations, depending on foliar N status.
