For mangrove rehabilitation carbon projects, quantifying GHG emissions as forests regenerate is a key accounting requirement. The current study is one of the first attempts to systematically quantify emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) from: 1) aquaculture ponds, 2) rehabilitating mangroves, and 3) intact mangrove sites and frame GHG flux within the context of landuse change. In-situ static chamber measurements were made at three contrasting locations in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The influence of key biophysical variables known to affect GHG flux was also assessed. Peak GHG flux was observed at rehabilitating (32.8\u202f\u00b1\u202f2.1\u202fMg\u202fCO2e\u202fha-1\u202fy-1) and intact, mature reference sites (43.8\u202f\u00b1\u202f4.5\u202fMg\u202fCO2e\u202fha-1\u202fy-1) and a dry, exposed disused aquaculture pond (30.6\u202f\u00b1\u202f1.9\u202fMg\u202fCO2e\u202fha-1\u202fy-1). Emissions were negligible at low productivity rehabilitating sites with high hydroperiod (mean 1.0\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.1\u202fMg\u202fCO2e\u202fha-1\u202fy-1) and an impounded, operational aquaculture pond (1.1\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.2\u202fMg\u202fCO2e\u202fha-1\u202fy-1). Heterogeneity in biophysical conditions and geomorphic position exerted a strong influence on GHG flux, with the longer hydroperiod and higher soil moisture content of seaward fringing mangroves correlated with decreased fluxes. A greater abundance of Mud lobster mounds and root structures in landward mangroves correlated to higher flux. When viewed across a landuse change continuum, our results suggest that the initial conversion of mangroves to aquaculture ponds releases extremely high rates of GHGs. Furthermore, the re-institution of hydrological regimes in dry, disused aquaculture ponds to facilitate tidal flushing is instrumental in rapidly mediating GHG flux, leading to a significant reduction in baseline emissions. This is an important consideration for forest carbon project proponents seeking to maximise creditable GHG emissions reductions and removals.", "keywords": ["Nitrous Oxide", "Aquaculture", "Carbon Dioxide", "Forests", "15.

The bufferstrip was a 3.5\u00a0m wide unfertilised grass strip adjacent to a ditch on an arable field. In total 24 groundwater wells were installed in 4 transects perpendicular to the ditch to determine Cl, NO3 and \u03b415N concentrations. Piezometers were installed to assess the groundwater flow, which was in the direction of the ditch with small downward leakage across a peat layer at about 3\u00a0m depth. Nitrogen was dominantly present as nitrate (NO3). The NO3-N concentrations under the bufferstrip were significantly lower than under the adjacent arable field. The lower concentrations were due to dilution, uptake by grass and denitrification. Nitrate was actively removed in the bufferstrip, since the Cl/NO3 ratios were higher in the bufferstrip than in the remainder of the field. Furthermore, \u03b415N data indicated that denitrification occurred in the groundwater and increased with decreasing distance to the ditch. NO3-N loads to the ditch were estimated at 8.5\u00a0kg\u00a0ha\u22121yr\u22121, which is relatively low for this area. We can, however, not determine whether these relatively low NO3-N loads were causally related to the reduced NO3-N concentrations in the bufferstrip.

Maximum, annual, flow\uffe2\uff80\uff90weighted concentration of glyphosate (9.2 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921) was well below its 700 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 MCL and metribuzin (9.5 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921) was well below its 200 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 HAL, whereas alachlor (44.5 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921) was well above its 2 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 MCL. In corn years, average glufosinate loss (0.10%) was similar to losses of alachlor (0.07%) and linuron (0.15%), but about one\uffe2\uff80\uff90fourth that of atrazine (0.37%).

Regardless of tillage system, flow\uffe2\uff80\uff90weighted atrazine and alachlor concentrations exceeded their MCLs in at least one crop year. Replacing these herbicides with glyphosate and glufosinate can reduce the occurrence of dissolved herbicide concentrations in runoff exceeding drinking water standards.

Although migrations are essential for soil microorganisms to exploit scarce and heterogeneously distributed resources, bacterial mobility in soil remains poorly studied due to experimental limitations.

Historically, manure has been recognized as an excellent soil amendment that can improve soil quality and provide nutrients for crop production. In areas of high animal density, however, the potential for water pollution resulting from improper storage or disposal of manure may be significant. The objective of this study was to determine the P balance of cultivated soils under barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production that have received long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term annual manure amendments. Nonirrigated soils at the study site in Lethbridge, AB, Canada, have received 0, 30, 60, or 90 Mg manure ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 (wet wt. basis) while irrigated plots received 0, 60, 120, and 180 Mg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 annually for 16 yr. The amount of P removed in barley grain and straw during the 16\uffe2\uff80\uff90yr period was between 5 and 18% of the cumulative manure P applied. There was a balance between P applied in manure and P recovered in crops and soils (to the 150\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm depth) of nonirrigated plots during the 16\uffe2\uff80\uff90yr study. In irrigated plots, as much as 1.4 Mg P ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 added (180 Mg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921 treatment) was not recovered over 16 yr, and was probably lost through leaching. The risk of ground water contamination with P from manure was greater in irrigated than nonirrigated plots that have received long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term annual manure amendments. Manure application rates should be reduced in nonirrigated and irrigated plots to more closely match manure P inputs to crop P requirements.

Vegetated filter strips (VFS) are used recently for removal, at or near the source, of sediment and sediment\uffe2\uff80\uff90bound chemicals from cropland runoff. Vegetation within the flowpath increases water infiltration and decreases water turbulence, thus enhancing pollutant removal by sedimentation within filter media and infiltration through the filter surface. Field experiments have been conducted to examine the efficiency of vegetated filter strips for phosphorus removal from cropland runoff with 20 filters with varying length (2 to 15 m), slope (2.3 and 5%), and vegetated cover, including bare\uffe2\uff80\uff90soil plots as control. Artificial runoff used in this study had an average phosphorus concentration of 2.37 mg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 and a sediment concentration of 2700 mg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 The average phosphorus trapping efficiency of all vegetated filters was 61% and ranged from 31% in a 2\uffe2\uff80\uff90m filter to 89% in a 15\uffe2\uff80\uff90m filter. Filter length has been found to be the predominant factor affecting P trapping in VFS. The rate of inflow, type of vegetation, and density of vegetation coverage had secondary influences on P removal. Short filters (2 and 5 m), which are somewhat effective in sediment removal, are much less effective in P removal. Increasing the filter length beyond 15 m is ineffective in enhancing sediment removal but is expected to further enhance P removal. Sediment deposition, infiltration, and plant adsorption are the primary mechanisms for phosphorus trapping in VFS.

Despite the use of best management practices for nitrogen (N) application rate and timing, significant losses of nitrate nitrogen NO\uffe2\uff88\uff923\uffe2\uff80\uff93N in drainage discharge continue to occur from row crop cropping systems. Our objective was to determine whether a autumn\uffe2\uff80\uff90seeded winter rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop following corn (Zea mays L.) would reduce NO\uffe2\uff88\uff923\uffe2\uff80\uff93N losses through subsurface tile drainage in a corn\uffe2\uff80\uff93soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cropping system in the northern Corn Belt (USA) in a moderately well\uffe2\uff80\uff90drained soil. Both phases of the corn\uffe2\uff80\uff93soybean rotation, with and without the winter rye cover crop following corn, were established in 1998 in a Normania clay loam (fine\uffe2\uff80\uff90loamy, mixed, mesic Aquic Haplustoll) soil at Lamberton, MN. Cover cropping did not affect subsequent soybean yield, but reduced drainage discharge, flow\uffe2\uff80\uff90weighted mean nitrate concentration (FWMNC), and NO\uffe2\uff88\uff923\uffe2\uff80\uff93N loss relative to winter fallow, although the magnitude of the effect varied considerably with annual precipitation. Three\uffe2\uff80\uff90year average drainage discharge was lower with a winter rye cover crop than without (p = 0.06). Over three years, subsurface tile\uffe2\uff80\uff90drainage discharge was reduced 11% and NO\uffe2\uff88\uff923\uffe2\uff80\uff93N loss was reduced 13% for a corn\uffe2\uff80\uff93soybean cropping system with a rye cover crop following corn than with no rye cover crop. We estimate that establishment of a winter rye cover crop after corn will be successful in one of four years in southwestern Minnesota. Cover cropping with rye has the potential to be an effective management tool for reducing NO\uffe2\uff88\uff923\uffe2\uff80\uff93N loss from subsurface drainage discharge despite challenges to establishment and spring growth in the north\uffe2\uff80\uff90central USA.

Conservation tillage can reduce soil loss; however, the residual herbicides normally used to control weeds are often detected in surface runoff at high levels, particularly if runoff\uffe2\uff80\uff90producing storms occur shortly after application. Therefore, we measured losses of alachlor, atrazine, linuron, and metribuzin from seven small (0.45\uffe2\uff80\uff930.79\uffe2\uff80\uff90ha) watersheds for 9 yr (1993\uffe2\uff80\uff932001) to investigate whether a reduced\uffe2\uff80\uff90input system for corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production with light disking, cultivation, and half\uffe2\uff80\uff90rate herbicide applications could reduce losses compared with chisel and no\uffe2\uff80\uff90till. As a percentage of application, annual losses were highest for all herbicides for no\uffe2\uff80\uff90till and similar for chisel and reduced\uffe2\uff80\uff90input. Atrazine was the most frequently detected herbicide and yearly flow\uffe2\uff80\uff90weighted concentrations exceeded the drinking water standard of 3 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 in 20 out of 27 watershed years that it was applied. Averaged for 9 corn yr, yearly flow\uffe2\uff80\uff90weighted atrazine concentrations were 26.3, 9.6, and 8.3 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 for no\uffe2\uff80\uff90till, chisel, and reduced\uffe2\uff80\uff90input, respectively. Similarly, flow\uffe2\uff80\uff90weighted concentrations of alachlor exceeded the drinking water standard of 2 \uffce\uffbcg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 in 23 out of 54 application years and in all treatments. Thus, while banding and half\uffe2\uff80\uff90rate applications as part of a reduced\uffe2\uff80\uff90input management practice reduced herbicide loss, concentrations of some herbicides may still be a concern. For all watersheds, 60 to 99% of herbicide loss was due to the five largest transport events during the 9\uffe2\uff80\uff90yr period. Thus, regardless of tillage practice, a small number of runoff events, usually shortly after herbicide application, dominated herbicide transport.

The objective was to examine nonpoint-source pollution (NPSP) reduction as influenced by agroforestry buffers in watersheds under grazing and row crop management. The grazing study consists of six watersheds in the Central Mississippi Valley wooded slopes and the row crop study site consists of three watersheds in a paired watershed design in Central Claypan areas. Runoff water samples were analyzed for sediment, total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) for the 2004 to 2008 period. Results indicate that agroforestry and grass buffers on grazed and row crop management sites significantly reduce runoff, sediment, TN, and TP losses to streams. Buffers in association with grazing and row crop management reduced runoff by 49 and 19%, respectively, during the study period as compared with respective control treatments. Average sediment loss for grazing and row crop management systems was 13.8 and 17.9 kg ha yr, respectively. On average, grass and agroforestry buffers reduced sediment, TN, and TP losses by 32, 42, and 46% compared with the control treatments. Buffers were more effective in the grazing management practice than row crop management practice. These differences could in part be attributed to the differences in soils, management, and landscape features.

Returning 3.0 Mg ha of biochar did not affect sorghum biomass, soil total, or Mehlich-3-extractable nutrients compared to control soil. Yet, biochar contributed to increased concentration of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) and mass loss of total phosphorus (TP) in simulated runoff, especially if topdressed. It was estimated that up to 20% of TP in topdressed biochar was lost in surface runoff after two rain events. Poor recovery of nutrients during pyrolysis and excessive runoff loss of nutrients for topdressed biochar, especially K, resulted in negative nutrient balances.

This study focuses on the impact of infiltration rates on colloidal transport and reactive processes associated with Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2 using water-saturated sediment columns. The infiltration rates influence the physical transport of bacteria by controlling the mean flow velocity. This, in turn, impacts biological processes in pore water owing to the higher or lower residence time of the bacteria in the column. In the present study, continuous injection of E. faecalis (suspended in saline water with varying conditions of dissolved oxygen and nutrient concentrations) into a lab-scale sediment column was performed at flow velocities of 0.02 cm min\uffe2\uff88\uff921 and 0.078 cm min\uffe2\uff88\uff921, i.e., at residence times of 1\uffe2\uff80\uff935 hours. The impact of residence times on reactive processes is significant for field scale setups. A process-based model with a first-order rate coefficient for each biological process was fitted for each obtained condition-specific dataset from the experimental observations (breakthrough curves). The coefficients were converted to a dimensionless form to facilitate the comparison of biological processes. These results indicate that the processes of attachment and growth were flow-dependent. The growth process in the absence of dissolved oxygen was the most dominant process, with a Damkoehler number of approximately 48.

As part of the long-term soil productivity study in central British Columbia, we examined the effect of soil compaction and organic matter removal on trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) litter decomposition. We compared three levels of organic matter removal (stem-only, whole-tree harvest, and scalped mineral soil) and two levels of compaction (no compaction and heavy compaction) in a factorial design replicated as blocks on three sites. Whole-tree harvesting significantly increased litter decomposition rates compared to stem-only (by 36%) and scalped (by 41%) treatments. Soil compaction had inconsistent effects on decomposition rates (k) for forest floor and scalped treatments and, overall, did not significantly affect litter decomposition rates. Litter on scalped plots had higher rates of nutrient translocation than litter on forest floors. We found the treatments altered soil heat sums, so changes in temperatures at the soil surface might be partly responsible for the changes in decomposition rates. We could not detect differences in soil mesofauna populations collected from the litter bags, so treatment effects on fauna probably had less influence than microclimate on decomposition rates. The effects of these early changes in litter decomposition on biological productivity will be part of the ongoing long-term soil productivity study. Key words: Litter decomposition, soil compaction, scalping, whole-tree harvest, nutrient translocation

High spatial resolution grab samples for water quality, along with sediment and bankside samples, were collected along an open ditch network to characterise the P dynamics within the ditch.

Although migrations are essential for soil microorganisms to exploit scarce and heterogeneously distributed resources, bacterial mobility in soil remains poorly studied due to experimental limitations. In this study, time-lapse images collected using live microscopy techniques captured collective and coordinated groups of B. subtilis cells exhibiting \uffe2\uff80\uff9ccrowd movement\uffe2\uff80\uff9d. Groups of B. subtilis cells moved through transparent soil (nafion polymer with particle size resembling sand) toward plant roots and re-arranged dynamically around root tips in the form of elongating and retracting \uffe2\uff80\uff9cflocks\uffe2\uff80\uff9d resembling collective behaviour usually associated with higher organisms (e.g., bird flocks or fish schools). Genetic analysis reveals B. subtilis flocks are likely driven by the diffusion of extracellular signalling molecules (e.g., chemotaxis, quorum sensing) and may be impacted by the physical obstacles and hydrodynamics encountered in the soil like environment. Our findings advance understanding of bacterial migration through soil matrices and expand known behaviours for coordinated bacterial movement.
