“…In aboveground compartments, iron was present in higher concentrations in the leaves and trunk bark of red maple and white birch trees in the constructed wetland and the reference site in August 2006. Higher concentrations of iron in the leaves and trunk bark of mature white birch trees were also observed by Schmitt et al [46] and Young and Guinn [40] . Morrison and Hogan [42] and Pastor and Bockheim [37] observed higher concentrations of iron in the leaves and trunk bark of sugar maple trees in Ontario and Northern Wisconsin, respectively.…”

“…Morrison and Hogan [42] , Schmitt et al [46] and Wittwer et al [43] observed a 2.8 fold, 3.3 fold and a 9.2 fold increase in the concentrations of iron in the trunk bark of sugar maple, white birch and red pine trees, respectively compared to the trunk wood concentrations. Young and Guinn [40] observed a 5.9 fold, 5.5 fold and a 5.0 fold increase in the concentrations of iron in the trunk bark of red spruce, white birch and red maple trees, respectively compared to the trunk wood concentrations.…”

However, iron concentrations greater than 100 mg kg 1 have also been reported in the literature.…”

A surface flow wetland was constructed in the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to treat stormwater runoff from the surrounding watersheds which are comprised primarily of commercial properties and two former landfills. The objectives of this study were: (a) to compare the uptake of iron by red maple, white birch and red spruce trees growing under flooded soil conditions in the constructed wetland and well drained soil conditions in a nearby reference site, (b) to evaluate the seasonal variability of iron in these trees and (c) to determine the distribution of iron in different compartments of these trees (leaves, twigs, branches, trunk wood, trunk bark and roots). The average iron concentrations in the aboveground compartments of red maple, white birch and red spruce trees were within the range of iron concentrations reported in the literature for these trees. Red maple, white birch and red spruce trees in the constructed wetland had significantly greater iron concentrations in their roots than the same species in the reference site. The average iron concentrations in the leaves of red maple trees in the constructed wetland and the reference site displayed an increasing trend towards the end of the growing season while the average iron concentrations in the twigs of red maple and white birch trees in the constructed wetland and the reference site displayed maximum concentrations at the beginning of the growing season. Red maple, white birch and red spruce trees in the constructed wetland retained a major portion of their overall iron concentration in their root systems.

“…Some have reported increased foliar P concentrations with fertilization (Mercer 1974;Safford and Filip 1974;Ellis 1979;Safford and Czapowskyj 1986;Fahey et al 1998;Gradowski and Thomas 2008), indicating that fertilization did significantly increase P availability. However, others (Finn and White 1966;Schmitt et al 1981;Leech and Kim 1990;Ouimet and Fortin 1992) found no such increase, which is consistent either with Psufficiency in the control trees, or with insufficient P availability relative to other added nutrients.…”

It is widely accepted that N limits primary production in temperate forests, although colimitation by N and P has also been suggested, and on some soils, Ca and base cations are in short supply. I conducted a meta-analysis to assess the strength of existing experimental evidence for limitation of primary production by N, P, and Ca in hardwood forests of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada using data from 35 fertilization experiments in deciduous forests on glaciated soils across the region. There is strong evidence for N limitation (formal meta-analysis weighted mean response ratio = 1.51, p < 0.01; simple mean = 1.42, p < 0.001). Forest productivity also tended to increase with additions of P (simple mean = 1.15, p = 0.05) and Ca (simple mean = 1.36, p < 0.001). Across all treatments, 85% of response ratios were positive. Multiple-element additions had larger effects than single elements, but factorial experiments showed little evidence of synergistic effects between nutrient additions. Production responses correlated positively with the rate of N fertilization, but this effect was reduced at high rates of ambient N deposition.

“…These values are comparable to data reported in the literature. Morrison and Hogan [34] , Schmitt et al [35] and Wittwer et al [36] observed average manganese concentrations of 264-411, 543 and 304 mg kg 1 in the branches of sugar maple, white birch and red pine trees, respectively. Young and Guinn [25] observed average manganese concentrations of 830, 273 and 1076 mg kg 1 in the branches of red maple, white birch and red spruce trees, respectively.…”

A surface flow constructed wetland was used to treat stormwater runoff from surrounding watersheds which are comprised primarily of commercial properties and two former landfills. The uptake of manganese by red maple, white birch and red spruce trees growing under flooded soil conditions in the constructed wetland was compared to that of the same trees growing under well drained soil conditions in a nearby reference site. The seasonal variability of manganese and its distribution in different compartments of these trees (leaves, twigs, branches, trunk wood, trunk bark and roots) were studied. The average manganese concentrations in the aboveground compartments of red maple, white birch and red spruce trees were within the range of manganese concentrations reported in the literature for these trees. The concentrations of manganese in the aboveground compartments of red maple, white birch and red spruce trees in the reference site were significantly greater than those in the constructed wetland (with the exception of manganese concentrations in the trunk wood of red maple trees) because of the acidic soil conditions of the reference site. The percent distribution of manganese in the aboveground compartments of trees did not vary during the growing season. Higher concentrations of manganese were present in the trunk bark and either the leaves or twigs of species on both the constructed wetland and the reference site regardless of the sampling date
