Increasing natural and anthropogenic deposition of nitrate (NO3−) and sulfate (SO42−) to peatlands may modify CH4oxidation, CO2and N2O production, thereby affecting the balance of greenhouse gases (GHG) globally. Among environmental factors controlling these biogeochemical processes, effects of peatland microrelief are poorly understood. Fluxes of CO2, CH4and N2O were measured before and after incubation with NO3−and SO42−for peat samples collected from various microrelief positions of a boreal oligotrophic mire in Eastern Finland. Soil was spiked with13CH4to understand the processes of CH4oxidation, its microbial utilization and incorporation into soil organic matter (SOM). We hypothesized that the addition of NO3−and SO42−would 1) stimulate CO2and N2O production (nutritional effect), but 2) decrease CH4oxidation due to acceleration of other more energetically favorable processes (e.g. denitrification), and 3) these patterns should follow the naturally established aerobic zone of a microform type and decrease with depth.Microbial biomass (MB) at 50 cm below all microforms was 9–15 folds higher than in the topsoil. MB controlled the GHG dynamics and was related to specific depth-dependent environmental conditions, rather than oxygen availability. Indeed, production of CO2and N2O, and oxidation potentials of CH4revealed no clear linkage with the naturally established aeration zone of the peatland’s microforms. Following NO3−and SO42−addition, production of CO2decreased by 20–65% compared to the control, with the greatest reduction in CO2emission occurring in the topsoil of hollows. In turn, CH4oxidation was suppressed by 20–94% with NO3−addition at 50 cm in lawns and with both NO3−and SO42−at 50 cm in hollows. The N2O production was increased up to 180–240 times under NO3−treatment at 50 cm in hollows and lawns. In conclusion, human-induced deposition of NO3−and SO42−may suppress CO2emissions from and CH4oxidation by boreal oligotrophic mires especially under the conditions of deposition increase. Finally, the deposition of inorganic compounds is strongly important to be considered in the estimation of ecosystem C and N balances.
