Alternate Identifier:	DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:	Development of the oil sands has led to increasing atmospheric N deposition, with values as high as 17 kg N ha-1 yr-1; regional background levels <2 kg N ha-1 yr-1. To examine responses to N deposition, over five years, we experimentally applied N (as NH4NO3) to a poor fen near Mariana Lake, Alberta, at rates of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 kg N ha-1 yr-1, plus controls (no water or N addition). In July of each year, we collected new growth of 5 species of vascular plants, returned them to the lab, cleaned them, dried and ground them, and ran them on a Flash EA 1112 Series CN Soil Analyzer Leaf N concentrations in C. calyculata, A. polifolia, and V. oxycoccos increased significantly with increasing N addition (Fig. 5). For C. calyculata and A. polifolia, there were differences in N concentrations between years, but the regression slopes describing the response to N addition were consistent across all years. Leaf N concentrations were unaffected by N addition for E. vaginatum and S. palustris, with the latter exhibiting interannual differences in leaf N concentrations. Water addition alone had no significant effect on N concentrations for any of the vascular plant species (p >= 0.67).

Field experimental N treatments were made with 8 applications per plot per year between mid May and mid August of each year

Total N added to each of the N treatments including background N deposition (2 kg N/ha/yr in precipitation) and 1.1 kg N/ha/yr in stock water used for fertilization

Experimental plots were located along 3 arms; each arm had one replicate each of 8 N treatments

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

In July of each year (2011-2015), we collected samples of new vascular plant growth (current year growth leaves of Eriophorum vaginatum, Chamaedaphne calyculata, Andromeda polifolia, Scheuchzeria palustris). We collected current year leaves of Oxycoccos microcarpus, in 2013-2015. We marked individuals from which leaves/needles were collected to avoid resampling in subsequent years. All samples for C and N analysis were sorted for removal of debris, dried for a minimum of 6 days at 55 C, homogenized in a Thomas Wiley Mini-Mill, and analyzed on a Flash EA 1112 Series CN Soil Analyzer.
