Glover; Ron Hofmann; Virginie Gaget; Christine Owen; Eric C. Wert; Arash Zamyadi;The potential for cyanobacterial blooms to impact recreational and drinking water source quality is a growing concern. Numerous monitoring tools have been developed that can alert stakeholders to the onset of cyanobacterial blooms to initiate mitigation efforts for waters used for recreation or drinking water supply. Early warning monitoring systems need to consider multiple aspects of a cyanobacterial bloom: whether a bloom is occurring in the source water, whether it might be transported to drinking water intakes, whether toxin or taste and odor compound producers are present and what proportion of the cells in a bloom they comprise, and whether cells are entering a utility at concentrations above threshold levels. No single monitoring tool can provide all this information, so multi-barrier approaches are needed. Reviews of monitoring tools and their variations are available, but they are generally limited to one type of tool. Instead, a review and comparison of all the available tools is needed to inform stakeholders of them and their relative advantages and limitations. Therefore, this review covers conventional tools including microscopic enumeration, pigment extraction, qPCR, probes, and remote sensing as well as emerging techniques including next-generation sequencing, photonic systems, biosensors, drones, and applications of machine learning and discusses them primarily from a practical and operational standpoint. Moreover, a three-tier framework is proposed for designing comprehensive early warning systems that groups monitoring tools by their analytical targets: biological activity or algal biomass, cyanobacteria or cyanobacteria-related genes, and cyanobacterial metabolites. First tier tools are generally simple and inexpensive to use, including turbidity, optical density, visual inspection, drones, chlorophyll a, and adenosine triphosphate. Changes in water quality conditions detected using a first tier tool triggers the use of a second tier tools for identification and quantification of cyanobacteria by microscopy, phycocyanin, biosensors, hyperspectral remote sensing, or next-generation sequencing. If potentially harmful concentrations of cyanobacteria are confirmed, third tier tools are deployed for quantifying concentrations of cyanotoxins and taste and odor compounds or the genes that encode for them using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, mass spectrometry, qPCR, or other analytical methods. This framework is designed to minimize the time and cost associated with cyanobacteria monitoring without compromising the ability of stakeholders to detect the onset of a bloom.

The application of remote sensing data to empirical models of inland surface water chlorophyll-a concentrations (chl-a) has been in development since the launch of the Landsat 4 satellite series in 1982. However, establishing an empirical model using a chl-a retrieval algorithm is difficult due to the spatial heterogeneity of inland lake water properties. Classification of optical water types (OWTs; i.e., differentially observed water spectra due to differences in water properties) has grown in favour in recent years over traditional non-turbid vs. turbid classifications. This study examined whether top-of-atmosphere reflectance observations in visible to near-infrared bands from Landsat 4, 5, 7, and 8 sensors can be used to identify unique OWTs using a guided unsupervised classification approach in which OWTs are defined through both remotely sensed reflectance and surface water chemistry data taken from samples in North American and Swedish lakes. Linear regressions of algorithms (Landsat reflectance bands, band ratios, products, or combinations) to lake surface water chl-a were built for each OWT. The performances of chl-a retrieval algorithms within each OWT were compared to those of global chl-a algorithms to test the effectiveness of OWT classification. Seven unique OWTs were identified and then fit into four categories with varying degrees of brightness as follows: turbid lakes with a low chl-a:turbidity ratio; turbid lakes with a mixture of high chl-a and turbidity measurements; oligotrophic or mesotrophic lakes with a mixture of low chl-a and turbidity measurements; and eutrophic lakes with a high chl-a:turbidity ratio. With one exception (r2 = 0.26, p = 0.08), the best performing algorithm in each OWT showed improvement (r2 = 0.69–0.91, p 2 = 0.52, p a over large extents and long time series, giving researchers an opportunity to study the trophic states of unmonitored lakes.

Mining activities generate residues during the ore concentration process. These wastes are placed into large tailing storage facilities, and upon mine closure, these tailings must be reclaimed. This study aimed to determine how different reclamation methods, involving combinations of planted boreal woody species and organic amendments application (paper mill sludge biosolids, chicken manure, and topsoil) affected plant community diversity at two tailing storage facilities in Québec, Canada. We recorded the composition of the plant communities using the percent cover of plant species within 1 m × 1 m quadrats. At the Niobec mine site, paper mill sludge mixed with topsoil enhanced total plant cover was compared with the use of topsoil only the former amendment, however, reduced evenness (J′) and diversity (1−D) due to the increased growth of grasses and invasive forbs. At the Mont-Wright site, plots having received paper mill sludge mixed with a “Norco” treatment (a mixture of chicken manure, hay, and grass seeds) produced the highest total plant cover. The Norco treatment mixed with topsoil and the single application of topsoil and biosolids produced the highest evenness (J′) and diversity (1−D). Overall, organic amendment applications promoted vegetation cover on tailings and contributed to the colonization of diverse plant communities.

Abstract Biosolids can be incorporated as a water replacement into a two-stage thermal process for biofuel production from brown greases, significantly reducing the overall environmental impact of the process. Unfortunately, the use of biosolids resulted in an appreciable amount of sulphur in the pyrolytic oils produced in the final stage of the process. Here, we first evaluated the relationship between the sulphur content of fatty acids pyrolysis liquid products and pyrolytic conditions. Afterwards, we evaluated the sulphur removal efficiency of several approaches such as distillation, extraction and adsorption. Through a combination of distillation and liquid-liquid extraction, we achieved a desulphurization of up to 95% reaching a final sulphur concentration of 15 ± 4 ppm.

Farooque; Helen Carolyn Peach Brown; Qamar U. Zaman; Bishnu Acharya; Farhat Abbas; Andrew McKenzie-Gopsill;Soil chemical properties can be improved by incorporating crop residues in soil and letting it decompose. This study explored the use of incorporating residues of cover crops for improvements in soil chemical properties including soil organic matter (SOM), soil pH, and the selected soil macro- and micronutrients in greenhouse and field trials. Factors of interest included (i) cover crops and their combinations and (ii) methods of crop termination and incorporation in soil (disc, mow + disc, glyphosate, roller crimper). The greenhouse trial showed up to a 20% higher amount of SOM accumulated in soils incorporated with crop residues. Buckwheat (3.12%) and phacelia (3.12%) produced significantly different and larger SOM than that of the control treatment that received no crop residues (p ≤ 0.05). The soil pH of the brown mustard treatment was also significantly affected by the experimental treatments (p ≤ 0.05). The incorporation of crop residues did not affect soil phosphorous (P) or potassium (K) concentrations, except for brown mustard, with significantly higher values of P and K than the control treatment. Calcium (Ca) was significantly higher in the soil of phacelia + pea treatment (p ≤ 0.05). Buckwheat + pea produced a higher concentration of Ca (1028 mg/kg) followed by buckwheat alone (1006 mg/kg). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) calculated on the results of the field trial showed that the mix treatment that had a mixture of four cover crops significantly increased the SOM content. Buckwheat produced the highest (2.95%) SOM, then brown mustard and timothy. This study concludes that, irrespective of the tillage incorporation methods, the residues from cover crops are a potential source of improvement in soil health, and this practice may promote sustainable agriculture in conditions similar to those in this study.

Verfaillie; Christian Wille; Lisamarie Windham-Myers; Benjamin Poulter; Robert B. Jackson;Time series of wetland methane fluxes measured by eddy covariance require gap-filling to estimate daily, seasonal, and annual emissions. Gap-filling methane fluxes is challenging because of high variability and complex responses to multiple drivers. To date, there is no widely established gap-filling standard for wetland methane fluxes, with regards both to the best model algorithms and predictors. This study synthesizes results of different gap-filling methods systematically applied at 17 wetland sites spanning boreal to tropical regions and including all major wetland classes and two rice paddies. Procedures are proposed for: 1) creating realistic artificial gap scenarios, 2) training and evaluating gap-filling models without overstating performance, and 3) predicting half-hourly methane fluxes and annual emissions with realistic uncertainty estimates. Performance is compared between a conventional method (marginal distribution sampling) and four machine learning algorithms. The conventional method achieved similar median performance as the machine learning models but was worse than the best machine learning models and relatively insensitive to predictor choices. Of the machine learning models, decision tree algorithms performed the best in cross-validation experiments, even with a baseline predictor set, and artificial neural networks showed comparable performance when using all predictors. Soil temperature was frequently the most important predictor whilst water table depth was important at sites with substantial water table fluctuations, highlighting the value of data on wetland soil conditions. Raw gap-filling uncertainties from the machine learning models were underestimated and we propose a method to calibrate uncertainties to observations. The python code for model development, evaluation, and uncertainty estimation is publicly available. This study outlines a modular and robust machine learning workflow and makes recommendations for, and evaluates an improved baseline of, methane gap-filling models that can be implemented in multi-site syntheses or standardized products from regional and global flux networks (e.g., FLUXNET).

Unprecedented increases in agricultural nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in recent years have caused substantial environmental pollution that leads to ozone depletion and global warming. Application of biochar and/or nitrification inhibitors (NIs) has the potential to reduce N2O emissions; however, it is not clear how biochar application may affect the efficacy of NI in reducing nitrification rates, soil enzyme activities, and N2O emissions under different soil moisture regimes. We conducted a 60-day laboratory incubation experiment to study the effects of manure biochar and nitrapyrin (as a NI) on N2O emissions from a urea fertilized soil with either 60 (low) or 80% (high) water-filled pore space (WFPS). Nitrification rates were significantly affected by biochar × NI × WFPS and biochar × WFPS interactions. Biochar initially increased and then decreased the rates, resulting in 45.2 and 26.6% (P < 0.001 for both) overall reductions in low and high WFPS, respectively while NI reduced the rates only in the first 10 days at 60% WFPS. Biochar decreased (P < 0.001) and NI increased (P = 0.007) β-1,4-N-acetyl glucosaminidase activities while urease activities were increased (P < 0.001) by biochar across WFPS. Biochar had significant interaction with NI in cumulative N2O emissions with the efficacy of NI being reduced when co-applied with biochar. Cumulative N2O emissions were greater at high than at low WFPS; the emissions were decreased by biochar at 60% WFPS and NI at both 60 and 80% WFPS. We conclude that biochar reduces efficacy of nitrapyrin in mitigating N2O emissions and their effects on net nitrification rates, enzyme activities and N2O emissions are dependent on soil moisture level.

Wilson; Marguerite A. Xenopoulos;Sarah C. D’Amario; Henry F. Wilson; Marguerite A. Xenopoulos;AbstractConcentration‐discharge (C‐Q) relationships have been widely used to assess the hydrochemical processes that control solute fluxes from streams. Here, using a large regional dataset we assessed long‐term C‐Q relationships for total phosphorus (TP), soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), and nitrate (NO3) for 63 streams in Ontario, Canada, to better understand seasonal regional behavior of nutrients. We used C‐Q plots, Kruskal‐Wallis tests, and breakpoint analysis to characterize overall regional nutrient C‐Q relationships and assess seasonal effects, anthropogenic impacts, and differences between “rising” and “falling” hydrograph limbs to gain an understanding of the dominant processes controlling overall C‐Q relationships. We found that all nutrient concentrations were higher on average in catchments with greater levels of anthropogenic disturbance (agricultural and urban land use). TP, SRP, and TKN showed similar C‐Q dynamics, with nearly flat or gently sloping C‐Q relationships up to a discharge threshold after which C‐Q slopes substantially increased during the rising limb. These thresholds were seasonally variable, with summer and winter thresholds occurring at lower flows compared with autumn and greater variability during snowmelt. These patterns suggest that seasonal strategies to reduce high flows, such as creating riparian wetlands or reservoirs, in conjunction with reducing related nutrient transport during high flows would be the most effective way to mitigate elevated in‐stream concentrations and event export. Elevated rising limb concentrations suggest that nutrients accumulate in upland parts of the catchment during drier periods and that these are released during rain events. NO3 C‐Q patterns tended to be different from the other nutrients and were further complicated by anthropogenic land use, with greater reductions on the falling limb in more disturbed catchments during certain seasons. There were few significant NO3 hydrograph limb differences, indicating that there was likely to be no dominant hysteretic pattern across our study region due to variability in hysteresis from catchment to catchment. This suggests that this nutrient may be difficult to successfully manage at the regional scale.

MacDonald;Sibeal McCourt; Graham K. MacDonald;Abstract Nitrogen (N) footprints are one method to quantify consumer driven reactive nitrogen (Nr) emissions. Canada is a highly urbanized yet economically natural resource-dependent country, providing an illustrative case study to examine attribution of Nr emissions to per capita consumption, either domestically or abroad. Yet, considered only at the national scale, N footprints may obscure absolute and relative contributions of local drivers to Nr emissions. We apply a top-down N footprint approach drawing from national N budgets, emissions inventories, and agricultural statistics to estimate sub-national (provincial) drivers of Nr emissions across Canada. We calculate per capita provincial Nr footprints from four primary sectors in 2018: (a) crop production, (b) animal production, (c) wastewater treatment, and (d) fossil fuel burning. We estimate that Canada’s total N footprint is 995.7 Gg Nr yr−1, which equates to an average per capita footprint nationally of 27.1 kg Nr capita−1 yr−1. The largest national contributions come from a few key (sub)sectors, including transport, beef consumption, and wastewater treatment. Provincial per capita N footprints vary widely, with the largest (Saskatchewan 50.3 kg Nr cap−1 yr−1) more than double the smallest (Ontario 22.0 kg Nr cap−1 yr−1). Most variation across provinces is due to the fossil fuels sector, including emissions from energy generation and the oil and gas industry. We therefore compare our top-down approach for the fossil fuels sector with bottom-up N footprints and territorial emissions methodologies. Per capita N emissions vary considerably across these approaches. For example, Alberta’s per-capita fossil fuel Nr emissions are 45.9, 23.0, and 6.3 kg Nr cap−1 yr−1 using territorial, top-down and bottom-up footprint approaches, respectively. This analysis demonstrates the challenges of attributing Nr emission for export-oriented economies. Our study provides novel insights on sub-national drivers of Nr emissions, emphasizing the need to consider how heterogeneous geographic contexts contribute to national N footprints.

McDowell;A comprehensive cross-biome assessment of major nitrogen (N) species that includes dissolved organic N (DON) is central to understanding interactions between inorganic nutrients and organic matter in running waters. Here, we synthesize stream water N chemistry across biomes and find that the composition of the dissolved N pool shifts from highly heterogeneous to primarily comprised of inorganic N, in tandem with dissolved organic matter (DOM) becoming more N-rich, in response to nutrient enrichment from human disturbances. We identify two critical thresholds of total dissolved N (TDN) concentrations where the proportions of organic and inorganic N shift. With low TDN concentrations (0–1.3 mg/L N), the dominant form of N is highly variable, and DON ranges from 0% to 100% of TDN. At TDN concentrations above 2.8 mg/L, inorganic N dominates the N pool and DON rarely exceeds 25% of TDN. This transition to inorganic N dominance coincides with a shift in the stoichiometry of the DOM pool, where DOM becomes progressively enriched in N and DON concentrations are less tightly associated with concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). This shift in DOM stoichiometry (defined as DOC:DON ratios) suggests that fundamental changes in the biogeochemical cycles of C and N in freshwater ecosystems are occurring across the globe as human activity alters inorganic N and DOM sources and availability. Alterations to DOM stoichiometry are likely to have important implications for both the fate of DOM and its role as a source of N as it is transported downstream to the coastal ocean.

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2021Publisher:Elsevier BV Funded by:NSERCNSERCHusein Almuhtaram; Faith A. Kibuye; Suraj Ajjampur; Caitlin M. Glover; Ron Hofmann; Virginie Gaget; Christine Owen; Eric C. Wert; Arash Zamyadi;The potential for cyanobacterial blooms to impact recreational and drinking water source quality is a growing concern. Numerous monitoring tools have been developed that can alert stakeholders to the onset of cyanobacterial blooms to initiate mitigation efforts for waters used for recreation or drinking water supply. Early warning monitoring systems need to consider multiple aspects of a cyanobacterial bloom: whether a bloom is occurring in the source water, whether it might be transported to drinking water intakes, whether toxin or taste and odor compound producers are present and what proportion of the cells in a bloom they comprise, and whether cells are entering a utility at concentrations above threshold levels. No single monitoring tool can provide all this information, so multi-barrier approaches are needed. Reviews of monitoring tools and their variations are available, but they are generally limited to one type of tool. Instead, a review and comparison of all the available tools is needed to inform stakeholders of them and their relative advantages and limitations. Therefore, this review covers conventional tools including microscopic enumeration, pigment extraction, qPCR, probes, and remote sensing as well as emerging techniques including next-generation sequencing, photonic systems, biosensors, drones, and applications of machine learning and discusses them primarily from a practical and operational standpoint. Moreover, a three-tier framework is proposed for designing comprehensive early warning systems that groups monitoring tools by their analytical targets: biological activity or algal biomass, cyanobacteria or cyanobacteria-related genes, and cyanobacterial metabolites. First tier tools are generally simple and inexpensive to use, including turbidity, optical density, visual inspection, drones, chlorophyll a, and adenosine triphosphate. Changes in water quality conditions detected using a first tier tool triggers the use of a second tier tools for identification and quantification of cyanobacteria by microscopy, phycocyanin, biosensors, hyperspectral remote sensing, or next-generation sequencing. If potentially harmful concentrations of cyanobacteria are confirmed, third tier tools are deployed for quantifying concentrations of cyanotoxins and taste and odor compounds or the genes that encode for them using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, mass spectrometry, qPCR, or other analytical methods. This framework is designed to minimize the time and cost associated with cyanobacteria monitoring without compromising the ability of stakeholders to detect the onset of a bloom.

The application of remote sensing data to empirical models of inland surface water chlorophyll-a concentrations (chl-a) has been in development since the launch of the Landsat 4 satellite series in 1982. However, establishing an empirical model using a chl-a retrieval algorithm is difficult due to the spatial heterogeneity of inland lake water properties. Classification of optical water types (OWTs; i.e., differentially observed water spectra due to differences in water properties) has grown in favour in recent years over traditional non-turbid vs. turbid classifications. This study examined whether top-of-atmosphere reflectance observations in visible to near-infrared bands from Landsat 4, 5, 7, and 8 sensors can be used to identify unique OWTs using a guided unsupervised classification approach in which OWTs are defined through both remotely sensed reflectance and surface water chemistry data taken from samples in North American and Swedish lakes. Linear regressions of algorithms (Landsat reflectance bands, band ratios, products, or combinations) to lake surface water chl-a were built for each OWT. The performances of chl-a retrieval algorithms within each OWT were compared to those of global chl-a algorithms to test the effectiveness of OWT classification. Seven unique OWTs were identified and then fit into four categories with varying degrees of brightness as follows: turbid lakes with a low chl-a:turbidity ratio; turbid lakes with a mixture of high chl-a and turbidity measurements; oligotrophic or mesotrophic lakes with a mixture of low chl-a and turbidity measurements; and eutrophic lakes with a high chl-a:turbidity ratio. With one exception (r2 = 0.26, p = 0.08), the best performing algorithm in each OWT showed improvement (r2 = 0.69–0.91, p 2 = 0.52, p a over large extents and long time series, giving researchers an opportunity to study the trophic states of unmonitored lakes.

Mining activities generate residues during the ore concentration process. These wastes are placed into large tailing storage facilities, and upon mine closure, these tailings must be reclaimed. This study aimed to determine how different reclamation methods, involving combinations of planted boreal woody species and organic amendments application (paper mill sludge biosolids, chicken manure, and topsoil) affected plant community diversity at two tailing storage facilities in Québec, Canada. We recorded the composition of the plant communities using the percent cover of plant species within 1 m × 1 m quadrats. At the Niobec mine site, paper mill sludge mixed with topsoil enhanced total plant cover was compared with the use of topsoil only the former amendment, however, reduced evenness (J′) and diversity (1−D) due to the increased growth of grasses and invasive forbs. At the Mont-Wright site, plots having received paper mill sludge mixed with a “Norco” treatment (a mixture of chicken manure, hay, and grass seeds) produced the highest total plant cover. The Norco treatment mixed with topsoil and the single application of topsoil and biosolids produced the highest evenness (J′) and diversity (1−D). Overall, organic amendment applications promoted vegetation cover on tailings and contributed to the colonization of diverse plant communities.

Abstract Biosolids can be incorporated as a water replacement into a two-stage thermal process for biofuel production from brown greases, significantly reducing the overall environmental impact of the process. Unfortunately, the use of biosolids resulted in an appreciable amount of sulphur in the pyrolytic oils produced in the final stage of the process. Here, we first evaluated the relationship between the sulphur content of fatty acids pyrolysis liquid products and pyrolytic conditions. Afterwards, we evaluated the sulphur removal efficiency of several approaches such as distillation, extraction and adsorption. Through a combination of distillation and liquid-liquid extraction, we achieved a desulphurization of up to 95% reaching a final sulphur concentration of 15 ± 4 ppm.

Farooque; Helen Carolyn Peach Brown; Qamar U. Zaman; Bishnu Acharya; Farhat Abbas; Andrew McKenzie-Gopsill;Soil chemical properties can be improved by incorporating crop residues in soil and letting it decompose. This study explored the use of incorporating residues of cover crops for improvements in soil chemical properties including soil organic matter (SOM), soil pH, and the selected soil macro- and micronutrients in greenhouse and field trials. Factors of interest included (i) cover crops and their combinations and (ii) methods of crop termination and incorporation in soil (disc, mow + disc, glyphosate, roller crimper). The greenhouse trial showed up to a 20% higher amount of SOM accumulated in soils incorporated with crop residues. Buckwheat (3.12%) and phacelia (3.12%) produced significantly different and larger SOM than that of the control treatment that received no crop residues (p ≤ 0.05). The soil pH of the brown mustard treatment was also significantly affected by the experimental treatments (p ≤ 0.05). The incorporation of crop residues did not affect soil phosphorous (P) or potassium (K) concentrations, except for brown mustard, with significantly higher values of P and K than the control treatment. Calcium (Ca) was significantly higher in the soil of phacelia + pea treatment (p ≤ 0.05). Buckwheat + pea produced a higher concentration of Ca (1028 mg/kg) followed by buckwheat alone (1006 mg/kg). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) calculated on the results of the field trial showed that the mix treatment that had a mixture of four cover crops significantly increased the SOM content. Buckwheat produced the highest (2.95%) SOM, then brown mustard and timothy. This study concludes that, irrespective of the tillage incorporation methods, the residues from cover crops are a potential source of improvement in soil health, and this practice may promote sustainable agriculture in conditions similar to those in this study.

Verfaillie; Christian Wille; Lisamarie Windham-Myers; Benjamin Poulter; Robert B. Jackson;Time series of wetland methane fluxes measured by eddy covariance require gap-filling to estimate daily, seasonal, and annual emissions. Gap-filling methane fluxes is challenging because of high variability and complex responses to multiple drivers. To date, there is no widely established gap-filling standard for wetland methane fluxes, with regards both to the best model algorithms and predictors. This study synthesizes results of different gap-filling methods systematically applied at 17 wetland sites spanning boreal to tropical regions and including all major wetland classes and two rice paddies. Procedures are proposed for: 1) creating realistic artificial gap scenarios, 2) training and evaluating gap-filling models without overstating performance, and 3) predicting half-hourly methane fluxes and annual emissions with realistic uncertainty estimates. Performance is compared between a conventional method (marginal distribution sampling) and four machine learning algorithms. The conventional method achieved similar median performance as the machine learning models but was worse than the best machine learning models and relatively insensitive to predictor choices. Of the machine learning models, decision tree algorithms performed the best in cross-validation experiments, even with a baseline predictor set, and artificial neural networks showed comparable performance when using all predictors. Soil temperature was frequently the most important predictor whilst water table depth was important at sites with substantial water table fluctuations, highlighting the value of data on wetland soil conditions. Raw gap-filling uncertainties from the machine learning models were underestimated and we propose a method to calibrate uncertainties to observations. The python code for model development, evaluation, and uncertainty estimation is publicly available. This study outlines a modular and robust machine learning workflow and makes recommendations for, and evaluates an improved baseline of, methane gap-filling models that can be implemented in multi-site syntheses or standardized products from regional and global flux networks (e.g., FLUXNET).

Unprecedented increases in agricultural nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in recent years have caused substantial environmental pollution that leads to ozone depletion and global warming. Application of biochar and/or nitrification inhibitors (NIs) has the potential to reduce N2O emissions; however, it is not clear how biochar application may affect the efficacy of NI in reducing nitrification rates, soil enzyme activities, and N2O emissions under different soil moisture regimes. We conducted a 60-day laboratory incubation experiment to study the effects of manure biochar and nitrapyrin (as a NI) on N2O emissions from a urea fertilized soil with either 60 (low) or 80% (high) water-filled pore space (WFPS). Nitrification rates were significantly affected by biochar × NI × WFPS and biochar × WFPS interactions. Biochar initially increased and then decreased the rates, resulting in 45.2 and 26.6% (P < 0.001 for both) overall reductions in low and high WFPS, respectively while NI reduced the rates only in the first 10 days at 60% WFPS. Biochar decreased (P < 0.001) and NI increased (P = 0.007) β-1,4-N-acetyl glucosaminidase activities while urease activities were increased (P < 0.001) by biochar across WFPS. Biochar had significant interaction with NI in cumulative N2O emissions with the efficacy of NI being reduced when co-applied with biochar. Cumulative N2O emissions were greater at high than at low WFPS; the emissions were decreased by biochar at 60% WFPS and NI at both 60 and 80% WFPS. We conclude that biochar reduces efficacy of nitrapyrin in mitigating N2O emissions and their effects on net nitrification rates, enzyme activities and N2O emissions are dependent on soil moisture level.

Wilson; Marguerite A. Xenopoulos;Sarah C. D’Amario; Henry F. Wilson; Marguerite A. Xenopoulos;AbstractConcentration‐discharge (C‐Q) relationships have been widely used to assess the hydrochemical processes that control solute fluxes from streams. Here, using a large regional dataset we assessed long‐term C‐Q relationships for total phosphorus (TP), soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), and nitrate (NO3) for 63 streams in Ontario, Canada, to better understand seasonal regional behavior of nutrients. We used C‐Q plots, Kruskal‐Wallis tests, and breakpoint analysis to characterize overall regional nutrient C‐Q relationships and assess seasonal effects, anthropogenic impacts, and differences between “rising” and “falling” hydrograph limbs to gain an understanding of the dominant processes controlling overall C‐Q relationships. We found that all nutrient concentrations were higher on average in catchments with greater levels of anthropogenic disturbance (agricultural and urban land use). TP, SRP, and TKN showed similar C‐Q dynamics, with nearly flat or gently sloping C‐Q relationships up to a discharge threshold after which C‐Q slopes substantially increased during the rising limb. These thresholds were seasonally variable, with summer and winter thresholds occurring at lower flows compared with autumn and greater variability during snowmelt. These patterns suggest that seasonal strategies to reduce high flows, such as creating riparian wetlands or reservoirs, in conjunction with reducing related nutrient transport during high flows would be the most effective way to mitigate elevated in‐stream concentrations and event export. Elevated rising limb concentrations suggest that nutrients accumulate in upland parts of the catchment during drier periods and that these are released during rain events. NO3 C‐Q patterns tended to be different from the other nutrients and were further complicated by anthropogenic land use, with greater reductions on the falling limb in more disturbed catchments during certain seasons. There were few significant NO3 hydrograph limb differences, indicating that there was likely to be no dominant hysteretic pattern across our study region due to variability in hysteresis from catchment to catchment. This suggests that this nutrient may be difficult to successfully manage at the regional scale.

MacDonald;Sibeal McCourt; Graham K. MacDonald;Abstract Nitrogen (N) footprints are one method to quantify consumer driven reactive nitrogen (Nr) emissions. Canada is a highly urbanized yet economically natural resource-dependent country, providing an illustrative case study to examine attribution of Nr emissions to per capita consumption, either domestically or abroad. Yet, considered only at the national scale, N footprints may obscure absolute and relative contributions of local drivers to Nr emissions. We apply a top-down N footprint approach drawing from national N budgets, emissions inventories, and agricultural statistics to estimate sub-national (provincial) drivers of Nr emissions across Canada. We calculate per capita provincial Nr footprints from four primary sectors in 2018: (a) crop production, (b) animal production, (c) wastewater treatment, and (d) fossil fuel burning. We estimate that Canada’s total N footprint is 995.7 Gg Nr yr−1, which equates to an average per capita footprint nationally of 27.1 kg Nr capita−1 yr−1. The largest national contributions come from a few key (sub)sectors, including transport, beef consumption, and wastewater treatment. Provincial per capita N footprints vary widely, with the largest (Saskatchewan 50.3 kg Nr cap−1 yr−1) more than double the smallest (Ontario 22.0 kg Nr cap−1 yr−1). Most variation across provinces is due to the fossil fuels sector, including emissions from energy generation and the oil and gas industry. We therefore compare our top-down approach for the fossil fuels sector with bottom-up N footprints and territorial emissions methodologies. Per capita N emissions vary considerably across these approaches. For example, Alberta’s per-capita fossil fuel Nr emissions are 45.9, 23.0, and 6.3 kg Nr cap−1 yr−1 using territorial, top-down and bottom-up footprint approaches, respectively. This analysis demonstrates the challenges of attributing Nr emission for export-oriented economies. Our study provides novel insights on sub-national drivers of Nr emissions, emphasizing the need to consider how heterogeneous geographic contexts contribute to national N footprints.

McDowell;A comprehensive cross-biome assessment of major nitrogen (N) species that includes dissolved organic N (DON) is central to understanding interactions between inorganic nutrients and organic matter in running waters. Here, we synthesize stream water N chemistry across biomes and find that the composition of the dissolved N pool shifts from highly heterogeneous to primarily comprised of inorganic N, in tandem with dissolved organic matter (DOM) becoming more N-rich, in response to nutrient enrichment from human disturbances. We identify two critical thresholds of total dissolved N (TDN) concentrations where the proportions of organic and inorganic N shift. With low TDN concentrations (0–1.3 mg/L N), the dominant form of N is highly variable, and DON ranges from 0% to 100% of TDN. At TDN concentrations above 2.8 mg/L, inorganic N dominates the N pool and DON rarely exceeds 25% of TDN. This transition to inorganic N dominance coincides with a shift in the stoichiometry of the DOM pool, where DOM becomes progressively enriched in N and DON concentrations are less tightly associated with concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). This shift in DOM stoichiometry (defined as DOC:DON ratios) suggests that fundamental changes in the biogeochemical cycles of C and N in freshwater ecosystems are occurring across the globe as human activity alters inorganic N and DOM sources and availability. Alterations to DOM stoichiometry are likely to have important implications for both the fate of DOM and its role as a source of N as it is transported downstream to the coastal ocean.
