Mosses are a major component of the arctic vegetation, particularly in wetlands. We present C ∕ N atomic ratio, δ 13 C and δ 15 N data of 400 brown-moss samples belonging to 10 species that were collected along hydrological gradients within polygonal mires located on the southern Taymyr Peninsula an...
