Abstract

Thirteen years after cultivating native grassland and establishing continuous wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and wheat–fallow rotations in southern Alberta, surface soil total N levels were 15% lower, and nitrate (60–90 cm) concentrations were 2.5- and 17-fold greater, than native grassland. Wheat–fallow, even without fertilization, markedly enhanced potential nitrate loss through the root zone.
