Abstract Nitrogen (N) fluxes of a slope mire in the German Harz Mountains were monitored to study the effect of increased N deposition on the N retention of the mire. In addition, the N content of mire pore water beneath different plant species was analyzed to assess N retention ability of plants. Atmospheric N deposition at the study site was 4.9?±?0.4 g N m-2 year-1 averaged for the study period of 2002 and 2003, with forest stand deposition being the largest share. Discharge was the main output pathway of N with a rate of 1.9?±?0.3 g N m-2 year-1. The mire showed a high N retention rate of 67%. Short-term N accumulation rate was 3.9 g N m-2 year-1. Differences in mire pore water N concentration under different vegetation cover indicate a lower N retention ability for ombrotrophic Sphagnum plants
