Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Guelph (Canada), 2009.

To assess components of the N cycle such as ammonification, nitrification and net nitrogen mineralization, as well as extractable nitrate and ammonium (NH4+-N) pools, a study was conducted at Washington Creek, southwestern Ontario. Four different land use systems were studied: natural forest (NF), agricultural land + grass buffer (AP), livestock land (LS), and agriculture + rehabilitated buffer (RA).

520 $a To assess components of the N cycle such as ammonification, nitrification and net nitrogen mineralization, as well as extractable nitrate and ammonium (NH4+-N) pools, a study was conducted at Washington Creek, southwestern Ontario. Four different land use systems were studied: natural forest (NF), agricultural land + grass buffer (AP), livestock land (LS), and agriculture + rehabilitated buffer (RA).
520 $a Soil net N-mineralization rates were calculated from ammonification and nitrification rates using the buried polyethylene bag method. Extractable nitrate and ammonium concentrations were obtained from samples taken as part of the sampling protocol for N-mineralization fluxes. Groundwater was also sampled from wells installed in the four land systems, and periphyton was sampled in stream waters associated with each land use system.
520 $a Net soil N-mineralization rates were generally significantly higher (p≤0.05) in the RA (81 mg m-2 d-1) and AP (40 mg m -2 d-1) systems compared to the NF (24 mg m -2 d-1) and LS (18 mg m-2 d-1 ) systems, particularly in the fall. The same pattern was observed for extractable NO3--N over all seasons. However, for extractable NH4+-N, higher concentrations were found in the NF system in the fall of both 2003 and 2004; no differences were noted between land uses in other seasons. Chlorophyll a and ash free dry mass (AFDM) of periphyton were significantly higher (p≤0.05) in the LS system. Chlorophyll a and AFDM was poorly correlated with aqueous concentrations of nutrients, but was positively correlated with canopy openness. The groundwater flux (Q) was highest in the NF and LS systems. In contrast, nitrate flux was highest in the AP system.
520 $a This study showed that rates of N mineralization, nitrification and ammonification varied seasonally in each land use system. The RA and NF land use systems yielded different processing rates for the N species studied, when it was expected that these systems would have similar values after 25 years of rehabilitation. Future studies should focus on studying long-term N cycling recovery in rehabilitated riparian areas, such Washington Creek, and the relationship between buffer strip width, total buffered area, and stream basin hydrology.
