“…As expected the foliage of N-fixing tree species contained significantly more N than the foliage of Scots pine and silver birch (Table 2). The measured N concentrations in leaves of black alder and black locust represented average or relatively high values compared to data reported for these species growing at the natural and the reclaimed mine sites (Rodríguez-Barrueco et al, 1984;Còte et al, 1989;Kuznetsova et al, 2011;Deng et al, 2019;González et al, 2020;Woś et al, 2020). The N-fixing trees contained also significantly more P in the foliage than non-N-fixing species.…”

Planted vegetation is considered one of the most important soil-forming factors in the reclamation of degraded post-mining lands for forestry. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of N-fixing tree species and non-N-fixing species on the organic phosphorus (P ) forms in technosols developing from various substrates. Samples were taken from the uppermost layer (depth 0 – 5 cm) of technosols afforested with black locust ( Robinia pseudoaccaccia), black alder ( Alnus glutinosa), silver birch ( Betula pendula) and Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris). Samples of the tree foliage and the O horizons were taken as well. The studied technosols developed from Quaternary sands (Sands), fly ashes after lignite combustion (Ashes) and Miocene clays (Clays). The soil samples were measured for the contents of labile (P ) and moderately labile organic phosphorus (P ), phosphorus contained in fulvic and humic acids (P and P , respectively) and residual organic phosphorus (P ). The foliage and O horizon samples were measured for the concentrations of C, N and P. The N-fixing trees had higher P concentration in the foliage than non-N-fixing species. However, in the O horizon the highest P concentration was determined under birch and not under N-fixers. The effect of tree species on the organic P (P ) concentrations in the mineral soil was limited with significantly lower P concentrations under pine. Soil under this species contained less P , P and P . However, the percentages of P , P , P , P and P in soil P were nearly the same under all tree species. The largest effect on the P concentration and on the contents of particular P fractions was from the substrate type. Sands contained much less P than the Clays and Ashes but their percentage of P in P was much higher than in two other substrates. We conclude that N-fixing trees do not affect the concentration of labile organic P and the major factor controlling this P fraction is the soil substrate quality.

“…without N-fixing symbionts Plants harboring N-fixing symbionts have consistently low N-resorption efficiencies (Stachurski and Zimka 1975, Dawson and Funk 1981, Rodriguez-Barrueco et al 1984, Cote and Dawson 1986, Cote et al 1989, Killingbeck 1993a. The level to which nitrogen can be reduced in the senescing leaves of potential Nfixers (1.61% N, Table 2) was almost twice that of nonfixers (0.87% N, Table 1), providing further support for the existence of an evolutionary trade-off between N fixation and effective resorption of N (Killingbeck l993a).…”

Analyses of nitrogen and phosphorus in the senesced leaves of 89 species of deciduous and evergreen woody perennials were used (1) to discover the limits of ultimate potential resorption (maximal withdrawal of nutrients from senescing leaves), (2) to determine a means by which resorption can be categorized as complete or incomplete, (3) to develop the concept of resorption proficiency (measured as the levels to which nutrients have been reduced in senesced leaves), (4) to compare resorption in evergreen vs. deciduous species, (5) to assess the impact of phylogeny on resorption, (6) to compare resorption in actinorhizal vs. non—nitrogen—fixing species, and (7) to consider the efficacy of using multiple measures of resorption to answer questions regarding the function and evolution of this process, rather than relying solely on analyses of resorption efficiency (percentage reduction of nutrients between green and senesced leaves). Concentrations of 0.3% nitrogen and 0.01% phosphorus in senesced leaves represent ultimate potential resorption of these nutrients in woody perennials. Resorption proficiency and potential resorption were quantitatively defined in two models that describe both resorption that is maximal and biochemically complete, and that which is not. Resorption is highly proficient in plants that have reduced nitrogen and phosphorus in their senescing leaves to concentrations below 0.7% and 0.05%, respectively. An important feature of knowing the levels to which nutrients can be reduced in senescing leaves is that these values offer an objective gauge by which to measure the success of resorption as a nutrient conservation mechanism. Evergreens were significantly more proficient at resorbing phosphorus than were deciduous species (0.045% vs. 0.067% P in senesced leaves, respectively) and plants capable of symbiotic nitrogen fixation were significantly less proficient at resorbing nitrogen than were nonfixers (1.6% vs. 0.9% N in senesced leaves, respectively). Resorption proficiency appeared to parallel some phylogenic trends, yet the influence of phylogeny was not so significant as to overwhelm the effects of recent selection. The ability of plants to reduce nitrogen in senescing leaves was significantly correlated with their ability to reduce phosphorus. Measurement and analysis of resorption proficiency, when coupled with concurrent consideration of potential resorption and resorption efficiency, should facilitate and expedite the ongoing attempt to resolve complex questions regarding the environmental constraints that influence resorption, and the selection pressures that have directed the evolution of this process.

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
