Nitrogen (N) accumulation rates in peatland ecosystems indicate significant biological atmospheric N ₂ fixation associated with Sphagnum mosses. Here, we show that the linkage between methanotrophic carbon cycling and N ₂ fixation may constitute an important mechanism in the rapid accumulation of N during the primary succession of peatlands. In our...
