ABSTRACT 
The causes of anthropogenic eutrophication in water bodies are multi-faceted and multi-
generational, presenting an ever increasing need for effective and sustainable solutions.  
Phytoremediation presents a cost-effective strategy to improve water body nutrient 
retention and removal, contributing to eutrophication mitigation efforts. 
This thesis examines the potential for northern wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) to be used 
as a phytoremediation species in eutrophic wetlands.  An investigation into root-sediment 
interactions was undertaken to determine how northern wild rice affects water and 
sediment pore water chemistry.  Northern wild rice growth was found to alter sediment 
pore water chemistry, contributing directly to nutrient retention during the summer 
growing season through nutrient assimilation in its tissues, and indirectly through 
increasing pore water Fe and Mn in the fall.  The majority of P and N within the plant 
was found to be contained in the stems and leaves (44-53%), followed by the 
inflorescence (22-28%).  Harvesting northern wild rice vegetation (including the seeds) at 
the end of the growing season would present a permanent nutrient removal mechanism. 
Substantial iron plaque forms on the roots of northern wild rice, visible as an orange-
brown coating that ranges structurally from <1 µm to 14 µm thick.  Iron plaques were 
found to be composed mainly of Fe, O, Al and K, with Fe found within and on root 
epidermal cells.  P was not found to be associated with iron root plaques. 
With proper harvesting and management techniques, northern wild rice grown in 
eutrophic water bodies could present a viable phytoremediation method for nutrient 
removal.

LAY SUMMARY 
Faculty and students in the Department of Biology at Lakehead University are bound 
together by a common interest in explaining the diversity of life, the fit between form and 
function, and the distribution and abundance of organisms.  Northern wild rice (Zizania 
palustris L.) is a valuable wetland plant with significant cultural importance for Canada’s 
Aboriginal people.  The purpose of this research was to examine the root-sediment 
interactions of northern wild rice, contributing to “the fit between form and function” of 
this important aquatic plant.  Nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) are required for plant 
growth; human activities have released excessive nutrients into freshwaters worldwide, 
resulting in nutrient pollution.  This research explored how northern wild rice could help 
remediation efforts in nutrient-impacted water bodies. 
Northern wild rice growth was found to alter water chemistry, reducing the amount of 
available nutrients in the summer by incorporating nutrients in its tissues and in the fall 
by increasing iron and manganese availability.  The majority of nutrients within the plant 
were found in the stems and leaves, thus harvesting the entire plant at the end of the 
growing season could permanently remove nutrients.  Northern wild rice roots were 
found to be covered in an orange-brown coating known as iron root plaques.  These 
plaques were composed mainly of iron, oxygen, aluminum and potassium; phosphorous 
was not found in the iron root plaques. 
The results of this research found that, with proper harvesting and management practices, 
northern wild rice grown in nutrient-rich water bodies could contribute to nutrient 
removal efforts.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION 
Clean freshwater is a vital resource that is rapidly becoming degraded (Carpenter et al. 
1998).  Of the vast water resources present on Earth, less than 0.5% is accessible as 
freshwater in ground and surface reservoirs (Wetzel 1992).  This freshwater has been 
used to dispose of pollutants throughout human history, resulting in further stress to the 
crucial resource (Carpenter et al. 1998).  Sources of human-induced surface water 
degradation include the direct release of toxic chemicals, increased erosion due to 
forestry and agriculture, and nutrient enrichment (leading to eutrophication) through 
fertilizer and wastewater discharge (Wetzel 1992). 
The cultural eutrophication of water bodies is caused by excessive inputs of nutrients 
(phosphorus and nitrogen) into aquatic systems from human sources (Carpenter et al. 
1998).  Aquatic organisms require nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to survive (Wetzel 
2001), however when these nutrients are available in excess they are considered 
contaminants to an aquatic system (Reddy et al. 1999).  Symptoms of this artificial 
enrichment include an increase in primary productivity, turbid water and a loss of 
biodiversity (Wetzel 2001; Søndergaard et al. 2003).  As additional stresses are placed on 
the worlds’ freshwater resources and individuals become aware of the health and 
ecological risks of nutrient pollution (Wetzel 1992; Galvez-Cloutier et al. 2006), the need 
for effective and sustainable solutions for cultural eutrophication increases. 
Eutrophication can be reversed through the reduction of nutrient sources to a water body, 
however the rate of recovery is highly variable and internal P loading (i.e. P release from 
the water body sediments) can cause a persistent eutrophic state (Carpenter et al. 1998; 
Søndergaard et al. 2003).  P has a tendency to accumulate in sediments, resulting in an 
 2 
internal load of P in eutrophic water bodies that can delay water quality improvements 
(Søndergaard et al. 2003; Hickey and Gibbs 2009).  Effective remediation strategies must 
include a reduction in external nutrient loads and a mechanism for capturing nutrients 
from the water and sediment and rendering them unavailable (Søndergaard and Jeppesen 
2007). 
External load reductions, accomplished through government regulations/enforcement and 
public education campaigns, must target point and non-point sources of pollution 
including the capture and treatment of nutrient-rich wastewater, municipal sewage, 
fertilizer runoff and industrial discharges (Carpenter et al. 1998; LWSB 2006).  
Remediation mechanisms to improve contaminant retention in water bodies involve the 
manipulation of biotic and abiotic processes such as settling and sedimentation, sorption, 
chemical oxidation/reduction, biodegradation and plant uptake (Lavrova and Koumanova 
2006).  Several strategies exist to reduce P release from sediments, including 
hypolimnetic aeration and the addition of flocculating agents/capping materials, however 
these methods are frequently cost-inhibitive and require high implementation and 
monitoring efforts (Reddy et al. 1999). 
Phytoremediation, remediating contaminants through the use of vegetation, presents a 
cost-effective strategy to improve nutrient retention within water bodies (Williams 2002).  
Wetland systems (constructed and natural) are considered a low-cost alternative for 
treating non-point source pollutants (Jiang et al. 2007; Lu et al. 2009).  The retention and 
transformation of nutrients in wetlands decreases the quantity of available nutrients in the 
water column and sediment and thus lowering downstream export (Johnston 1991; Reddy 
et al. 1999; Mitsch and Gosselink 2007; En-Hua et al. 2010).  Wetlands have been shown 
 3 
to retain organic and inorganic nutrients from the waters that flow through them by 
physical, chemical and biological processes (Dunbabin and Bowmer 1992; Reddy et al. 
1999; Mitsch and Gosselink 2007).  Aquatic plants (macrophytes) are the main biological 
components of wetlands (Maine et al. 2005a) and have a major role in nutrient 
assimilation and storage (Reddy et al. 1999).  Emergent macrophytes with extensive root 
systems and a high ratio of above to below-ground biomass are well-suited to the 
phytoremediation of nutrient contaminants (Reddy et al. 1999; En-Hua et al. 2010). 
Emergent macrophytes contribute to nutrient retention mainly through nutrient 
assimilation, denitrification and rhizosphere oxidation (Moore et al. 1994; Hoagland et al. 
2001).  Wetlands function as nutrient sources or sinks depending on the season (Kao et 
al. 2003), with wetlands typically functioning as net sinks for total P during the growing 
season (Reddy et al. 1999).  Nutrient retention during the growing season, when the 
majority of problems associated with eutrophication are experienced, can significantly 
improve water quality and assist in the remediation of eutrophic water bodies (Reddy et 
al. 1999; Hoagland et al. 2001; Hupfer and Dollan 2003; Kao et al. 2003). 
Emergent macrophytes acquire the nutrients required for growth directly from wetland 
sediments and incorporate them into the living biomass (Wetzel 2001; En-Hua et al. 
2010).  This process influences the sediment pore water chemistry, reducing the quantity 
of available nutrients in the sediment and lowering nutrient transfer into the water column 
(En-Hua et al. 2010).  After the growing season, nutrients are released from the senesced 
vegetation at a variable rate through decomposition and leaching (Mitsch and Gosselink 
2007; Reddy et al. 1999).  The aboveground portion of the macrophyte returns nutrients 
 4 
to the water column, while the belowground biomass returns nutrients to the sediment 
pore water (Reddy et al. 1999; Shilla et al. 2006). 
Denitrification, the conversion of nitrate (NO3
-
) to gaseous nitrous oxide (N2O) and 
molecular nitrogen (N2) by microbes in anaerobic conditions (Mitsch and Gosselink 
2007), can permanently remove N from a water body (McCarthy et al. 2007; Hickey and 
Gibbs 2009).  Denitrification is promoted by decomposing vegetation providing a 
nutrient source and substrate for bacteria (Hoagland et al. 2001).  Maine et al. (2005a) 
found that constructed wetlands efficiently removed both N and P from wastewater high 
in Fe and SO4
2-
 by promoting both denitrification and P precipitation and adsorption to Fe 
and CaCO3. 
Rhizosphere oxidation occurs when emergent macrophytes transport oxygen to their roots 
which subsequently “leaks” out (by radial oxygen loss) into the surrounding anaerobic 
rhizosphere (Armstrong 1964; Conlin and Crowder 1989; Mitsch and Gosselink 2007).  
Numerous biogeochemical processes occur within this oxidized rhizosphere, including 
the oxidation of iron which often results in the precipitation of ferric hydroxide onto root 
surfaces termed iron root plaque (Mendelssohn and Postek 1982; Crowder and MacFie 
1986; St-Cyr et al. 1993; Christensen and Wigand 1998; Caetano and Vale 2002).  Iron 
hydroxides have a high adsorption capacity, resulting in the adsorption or co-precipitation 
and incorporation of a number of elements including P into plaques (Chen et al. 1980a; 
Chambers and Odum 1990; Liu et al. 2011). 
The ability of a wetland to retain nutrients is strongly influenced by the aquatic species 
present (Kao et al. 2003).  Macrophytes best suited for eutrophic wetland 
phytoremediation are fast-growing indigenous species with vigorous root systems and 
 5 
high oxygenation ability (Dunbabin and Bowmer 1992; En-Hua et al. 2010).  Many 
studies have shown constructed wetlands planted with emergent macrophytes including 
Typha, Schoenoplectus, Phragmites, Juncus and Cyperus species are successful in 
remediating polluted waters (Dunbabin and Bowmer 1992; Tanner 1996; Hoagland et al. 
2001; Maine et al. 2005a; Jiang et al. 2007; Lu et al. 2009; En-Hua et al. 2010). 
Zizania latifolia (Griseb.) Turcz. ex Stapf, Manchurian wild rice, has been studied for its 
nutrient uptake and retention potential in Eastern Asia (Tanner 1996; Jiang et al. 2007; 
Lu et al. 2009; En-Hua et al. 2010).  Tanner (1996) examined eight wetland species, 
concluding that Z. latifolia accumulated the largest amount of N, P, S, K, Zn and Fe due 
to its high growth rate, well-developed root system, high root-zone aeration and stress 
tolerance.  Jiang et al. (2007), Lu et al. (2009) and En-Hua et al. (2010) all found that 
Z. latifolia had a high capacity for N and P uptake, concluding that plant harvest at the 
end of the growing season provided a permanent nutrient removal mechanism. 
Zizania palustris L., northern wild rice, is an emergent annual aquatic grass that grows in 
shallow lake waters and slow-moving rivers across eastern and north-central North 
America (Aiken et al. 1988; Painchaud and Archibold 1990).  An important cereal crop, 
wild rice has been harvested for centuries by First Nations people (Aiken et al. 1988).  
Wild rice is the only wild grass in Canada that grows annually from seed (without being 
planted) with a grain of sufficient size for widespread human consumption (Aiken et al. 
1988).  Z. palustris has been cultivated in North America since the 1950s (Malvick and 
Percich 1993), while research into its cultivation potential in Eastern Asia has increased 
in recent years (Gemma et al. 1993; Jin et al. 2005). 
 6 
Z. palustris grows in a wide range of water and sediment types and is known to oxidize 
the rhizosphere through its well-defined system of aerenchyma (Stover 1928; Aiken et al. 
1988; Day and Lee 1989; Lee and McNaughton 2004).  Stands of wild rice maintain 
wetland water quality through binding loose soil, retaining nutrients and reducing wind 
erosion (Bennett et al. 2000).  The historic range of Z. palustris has been significantly 
reduced due to human disturbance including water pollution, boat turbulence and water 
level manipulations (Bennett et al. 2000; Meeker 2000).  Since restoration is not a viable 
option on many historic waters, efforts have been made to seed wild rice into suitable 
habitats across its former range with variable success (David 2000). 
The objective of this thesis was to examine the potential of Z. palustris as a 
phytoremediation species in eutrophic wetlands.  An investigation of root-sediment 
interactions was undertaken with the following aims: 1) To determine how the 
establishment of Z. palustris in a eutrophic wetland alters water and sediment pore water 
chemistry; 2) To study the deposition, composition and structure of iron plaques formed 
on the roots of Z. palustris.

CHAPTER 1 
Influence of northern wild rice (Zizania palustris) on water chemistry in freshwater 
wetlands 
 
1.1 Introduction 
Cultural eutrophication is caused by excessive inputs of the nutrients phosphorus (P) and 
nitrogen (N) into aquatic systems from human sources (Carpenter et al. 1998).  When 
nutrients are available in excess, water bodies experience an increase in primary 
productivity, turbid water and a loss of biodiversity (Reddy et al. 1999; Wetzel 2001; 
Søndergaard et al. 2003).  This condition can be reversed through the reduction of 
nutrient sources, however the rate of recovery for water bodies is highly variable since 
internal P loading from sediments often persists (Carpenter et al. 1998; Søndergaard et al. 
2003). 
Effective remediation strategies include a reduction in external nutrient loads and a 
mechanism for capturing nutrients from the water and sediment (Søndergaard and 
Jeppesen 2007).  Phytoremediation through wetland macrophytes presents a cost-
effective strategy to improve nutrient retention (Williams 2002).  Nutrient retention and 
transformation in wetlands decreases the load to downstream water bodies (Johnston 
1991; Reddy et al. 1999; Mitsch and Gosselink 2007; En-Hua et al. 2010).  Emergent 
macrophytes in wetlands contribute to nutrient dynamics mainly through nutrient 
assimilation, denitrification and rhizosphere oxidation (Moore et al. 1994; Hoagland et al. 
2001).  Nutrient retention by macrophytes during the growing season can significantly 
improve water quality and assist in the remediation of eutrophic water bodies (Reddy et 
al. 1999; Hoagland et al. 2001; Hupfer and Dollan 2003; Kao et al. 2003).

Zizania palustris L., northern wild rice, is an emergent annual aquatic grass that grows in 
shallow lake waters and slow-moving rivers across eastern and north-central North 
America (Aiken et al. 1988; Painchaud and Archibold 1990).  In North America, 
Z. palustris has been harvested for centuries by First Nations people and has been 
cultivated commercially since the 1950s (Aiken et al. 1988; Malvick and Percich 1993).  
Z. palustris grows in a wide range of water and sediment types and is known to oxidize 
the rhizosphere through its well-defined system of aerenchyma (Stover 1928; Aiken et al. 
1988; Day and Lee 1989; Lee and McNaughton 2004; Jorgenson et al. 2013 Botany - in 
press).  The phytoremediation potential of Z. palustris in nutrient-impacted water bodies 
has not been examined to date, however the commercial value and physical attributes of 
this annual aquatic grass suggest that this species may be suitable in such initiatives. 
Sediment interstitial pore waters represent an important source of bioavailable nutrients 
and metals within water bodies (Teasdale et al. 1995).  Pore water dynamics are useful in 
examining interactions between lake water and sediment, are more sensitive to seasonal 
variations and are a better indicator of the trophic status of a water body (Teasdale et al. 
1995; Søndergaard 1990).  Examining sediment pore water chemistry can help explain 
many chemical processes occurring within sediments, and in-situ methods of pore water 
collection are best for minimizing sampling artefacts (Azcue et al. 1996).  An in-situ 
sampling field experiment was designed based on the research of Moore et al. (1994) to 
determine how water and sediment pore water chemistry are affected by northern wild 
rice.  Dialysis pore water samplers (peepers) were used to examine the effect of northern 
wild rice on water chemistry and nutrient partitioning in adjacent vegetated and non-
vegetated plots in two freshwater wetlands. 
 9 
The objective of this study was to examine the potential of Z. palustris as a 
phytoremediation species for eutrophic water bodies.  Lake Simcoe is a mesotrophic lake 
located in southern Ontario that has undergone numerous environmental changes due to 
anthropogenic P loading (Evans et al. 1996; Ginn 2011).  P levels began to increase in 
Lake Simcoe in the 1930s, however P was not identified as a water quality problem until 
the 1970s when a decline in the coldwater fishery and excessive algal and aquatic 
macrophyte growth were observed (Eimers et al. 2005; Winter et al. 2007; Kilgour et al. 
2008; Hawryshyn et al. 2012).  Anthropogenic nutrient sources within the watershed 
include urban and agricultural run-off from 23 municipalities, livestock waste, effluent 
from 15 sewage treatment plants and atmospheric pollution (LSRCA 2009; Ontario 
Ministry of the Environment 2009a).  Initiatives to reduce total P loading to Lake 
Simcoe, including the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, have been ongoing since the 1990s 
with a substantial improvement in lake water quality observed in recent years (Winter et 
al. 2007; Ontario Ministry of the Environment 2009b; Ginn 2011; Winter et al. 2011; 
Hawryshyn et al. 2012).  The goal of this study was to determine how water and sediment 
pore water chemistry are affected by the presence of Z. palustris, in an effort to determine 
the usefulness of Z. palustris as a phytoremediation species in eutrophic wetlands. 
1.2 Materials and Methods 
1.2.1 Field Experiment 
Two freshwater wetlands were selected near Orillia, Ontario, to examine the influence of 
Z. palustris growth on water chemistry in differing wetland environments.  Surface water 
and sediment pore water samples were collected in-situ from plots containing wild rice 
vs. plots containing no vegetation and submitted for laboratory analysis.

1.2.1.1 Study Area 
Orillia, Ontario (44° 35’ 59” N, 79 24’ 59” W) is located on the northern shore of Lake 
Simcoe, adjacent to the Lake’s outflow to Lake Couchiching at Atherley Narrows 
(Winter et al. 2007).  Both wetlands selected for this study (Figure 1.1) are part of the 
Lake Huron Drainage Basin, with Victoria Point located within the Lake Simcoe 
Watershed and Marchmont Marsh located within the Severn Sound Watershed

Committee 2011). 
Victoria Point (VP) wetland (44° 35’ 36” N, 79 22’ 58” W), adjacent to the southeast 
boundary of Orillia, is a shallow open water marsh within Lake Simcoe with dark brown 
flocculent organic sediment (> 2 metres (m) deep) and a seasonally fluctuating water 
level (0.1 - 2 m depth).  Dominant macrophyte species within the study area included 
Nymphaea odorata Aiton, Nuphar variegata Engelm. ex Durand, Ceratophyllum 
demersum L. and Myriophyllum sp., with Typha angustifolia L. dominant along the 
shoreline. 
Marchmont Marsh (MM) (44° 38’ 03” N, 79 31’ 03” W), located approximately 5 km 
west of the City of Orillia, is an open water marsh along the shoreline of a slow-moving 
tributary of the North River with a stable water level (1 m depth).  Within the study area, 
a firm light brown clay layer is located beneath the overlying brown organic sediments 
(0.3 – 0.5 m deep).  Dominant macrophyte species within the study area included Z. 
palustris, N. variegata and C. demersum, bounded by a riparian forest dominated by 
Abies balsamea (L.) Mill. and Thuja occidentalis L.

1.2.1.2 Site Preparation 
Victoria Point 
In early May 2010, VP wetland was observed to be lacking vegetation cover.  A suitable 
plot location was selected for seeding Z. palustris based on accessibility, adequate water 
depth (0.5 - 1 m), flocculent sediment conditions, a lack of competitive species and 
shelter from wind (Aiken et al. 1988; Gemma et al. 1993; Painchaud and Archibold 
1990).  A fence (constructed of ABS pipe and plastic safety fencing) was erected to 
eliminate waterfowl disturbance, delineating a study area approximately 7.5 m by 11 m in 
size.  Z. palustris seeds (collected and over-wintered in a pond near Kakabeka Falls, 
Ontario) were scattered throughout the fenced area, with excess seed distributed in an 
area just north of the fence.  Growth of the seeded northern wild rice was monitored in 
June and July, with the majority of successful growth observed adjacent to the fence due 
 12 
to the reduced turbidity from strong winds.  Competitive species (N. odorata and C. 
demersum) were removed from within the fenced area as required to encourage growth. 
In late July 2010, six plots were delineated within the study area based on the observed 
vegetation growth (Figure 1.2): three vegetated plots containing only northern wild rice 
vegetation; two non-vegetated plots containing no vegetation; and, one large mixed-
vegetation plot containing N. odorata (dominant), Myriophyllum sp., C. demersum and 
Z. palustris.  Non-vegetated plots were maintained throughout the growing season with 
bi-weekly vegetation removal. 
Marchmont Marsh 
In late June 2010, Z. palustris was observed to be growing vigorously along the southern 
shore of MM.  Six plots were delineated (Figure 1.2) within the study area: three 
vegetated plots containing only northern wild rice vegetation, and three non-vegetated 
plots containing no vegetation.  Non-vegetated plots were maintained through monthly 
vegetation removal of C. demersum.

1.2.1.3 Pore Water Sampler 
Dialysis pore water samplers (peepers) were constructed to collect sediment pore water 
samples.  Originally designed by Hesslein in 1976, peepers allow for the collection of 
discrete pore water samples from specified depths, through the equilibration of a 
contained quantity of water with the surrounding pore water (Hesslein 1976).  Many 
modifications have been designed and used over the years to meet specific experimental 
requirements (Teasdale et al. 1995; Azcue et al. 1996; Jacobs 2002; Bally et al. 2005). 
In this study, peepers were designed to collect the large sample volumes required for a 
wide range of chemical analyses.  Fisherbrand® 50 mL centrifuge tubes were modified to 
use as the individual dialysis water samplers (Figure 1.3 C).  A 180 mm diameter hole 
was drilled in each cap and fitted with a 0.45 µm Millipore Durapore® membrane filter, 
adhered with silicone between two 500 µm Nitex® screens.  ABS pipe and fittings were 
used to construct an apparatus for anchoring multiple dialysis water samplers (Figure 
1.3 A).  Three dialysis water samplers were inserted into each 10 cm interval of the 
sampling apparatus, collecting 150 mL of water per 10 cm interval (Figure 1.3 B).  
Collectively, the sampling apparatus and multiple dialysis water samplers are herein 
referred to as a peeper. 
 14 
 
Figure 1.3 – Sediment pore water sampler (peeper) design. 
At the time of deployment, each dialysis water sampler was filled with degassed distilled 
deionized water (DDW), capped (zero headspace) and placed in the sampling apparatus.  
The compiled peeper was pushed vertically into the sediment at a random location within 
each plot, with one 10 cm depth interval visible above the sediment-water interface 
(SWI) (Figure 1.3 B).  In total, 36 peepers were constructed, 30 peepers with five 10 cm 
depth intervals to sample up to 40 cm below the SWI, and six “deep peepers” with eight 
10 cm depth intervals to sample up to 70 cm below the SWI.  Deep peepers were 
designed to examine pore water trends below the rooting zone of Z. palustris.  After 
deployment, all peepers remained undisturbed for approximately one month (26-33 days), 
allowing adequate equilibration time with the surrounding water (Teasdale et al. 1995). 
 15 
1.2.1.4 Sample Collection 
At the time of sample collection, the peeper was carefully pulled vertically from the 
sediment and each individual dialysis water sampler was extracted and collected by 
10 cm sampling depth.  Compromised samples (e.g. from samplers with damaged caps) 
were discarded.  The contents of all samplers from the same 10 cm depth interval (usually 
three samplers) were emptied into clean, pre-labelled 250 mL plastic bottles, resulting in 
one 150 mL water sample per 10 cm depth per peeper.  Samples were placed in ice-filled 
coolers and transported to the Lakehead University Environmental Laboratory (LUEL) 
for analysis.  After sample collection, the sampling apparatus was scrubbed clean, loaded 
with new degassed DDW-filled dialysis water samplers and re-deployed. 
A control apparatus was also constructed to determine if peeper components contributed 
to the analytical results.  A short length of ABS pipe was capped at both ends and filled 
with degassed DDW and three filled dialysis water samplers (Figure 1.4) at each 
deployment event.  Samples of the control apparatus water, degassed DDW (used to fill 
samplers at deployment) and site surface water were collected at each sampling event.  
Samples were collected directly into clean 250 mL plastic bottles, sealed, labelled and 
stored in a cooler along with the peeper samples for transport to the LUEL for analysis.

Sediment and vegetation samples were also collected at select intervals from each study 
site.  Sediment samples were collected by pre-cleaned shovel into new 1 L plastic bags, 
sealed, labelled and transported in coolers to the LUEL for analysis.  Vegetation samples 
of Z. palustris were removed by hand from the sediment and placed into new plastic 
bags, sealed, labelled and transported in coolers to the LUEL for analysis. 
Victoria Point 
In total, 20 peepers were deployed and collected monthly in VP from July to October 
2010.  Three peepers each were located in the three vegetated plots and two non-
vegetated plots, and five peepers were located in the mixed vegetation plot.  One deep 
peeper was included in each plot (six deep peepers total).  Three sample collection events 
occurred (August, September and October) for a total of 333 samples collected.  Water 
levels within VP dropped significantly throughout the summer so that only 0.1 to 0.3 m 
of water and little vegetation remained within the study area in October.  Accordingly, 
only one deep peeper from each of the vegetated plots was collected and analyzed in 
October. 
One surface water sample was collected per month from July to October.  One vegetation 
sample (10 plants) was collected in September, and one sediment sample was collected in 
October. 
Marchmont Marsh 
In total, 18 peepers were deployed and collected monthly in MM from June to October 
2010.  Three peepers each were located in the three vegetated plots and three non-
vegetated plots.  Firm clay impeded peeper deployment beyond 40 cm below the SWI, 
 17 
thus no deep peepers were used.  Four sample collection events occurred (July, August, 
September and October), for a total of 388 samples collected.  Water level and vegetation 
cover within MM was consistent throughout the study. 
One surface water sample was collected per month from July to October.  Two vegetation 
samples were collected, one in August (3 plants) and one in September (20 plants).  Two 
sediment samples were collected, one each in June and October. 
1.2.2 Laboratory Procedures 
All sample analyses were conducted at the LUEL, a Canadian Association of Laboratory 
Accreditation (CALA) ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.  All analyses followed standard 
operating procedures and included the use of blanks, quality control samples and 
replicates. 
1.2.2.1 Water Analysis 
As per the in-situ sample collection technique, water samples (surface and pore) were 
filtered in the field.  The majority of samples contained a small portion of sediment, 
indicating that not all water passed through the 0.45 µm membrane (i.e. some water 
passed around the membrane and only through the 500 µm screen).  In preparation for 
laboratory analysis, water samples were mixed, allowed to settle for 5 to 10 minutes and 
then decanted (eliminating the approximately 10 mL of water containing sediment 
particles from analysis). 
Water (surface and pore) samples were analyzed for: pH, conductivity, total alkalinity, 
P (total P and phosphate), N (nitrite and nitrate), and total Al, As, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, 
Na, S, Sr and Zn.  Select samples in June and July were also analyzed for dissolved 
 18 
organic carbon (DOC) and reactive silicates (MM only).  For samples of insufficient 
quantity (i.e. less than 150 mL), analyses were prioritized as follows: 1) P and N; 2) Al, 
As, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Sr and Zn; 3) pH, conductivity and total alkalinity. 
Within 24 hours of reaching the laboratory, pH and conductivity were analyzed by a 
probe (with temperature correction) and alkalinity was analyzed by titration with H2SO4 
to a pH of 4.5 (automated titration procedure).  Al, As, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Sr 
and Zn analyses were carried out by ICP spectrometry subsequent to their digestion and 
concentration by microwave following the addition of HNO3.  P and N were determined 
on filtered samples (0.45 µm) by ion chromatography on a Dionex DX-120. 
1.2.2.2 Sediment Analysis 
Sediment samples were analyzed for total P, Al, As, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Si, 
Sr, Ti and Zn.  Samples from MM were also analyzed for pH and conductivity.  Sediment 
samples were air-dried and ground to pass through a 2 mm mesh.  Total P, Al, As, Ba, 
Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Si, Sr, Ti and Zn analyses were conducted by ICP 
spectrometry subsequent to their digestion and concentration by microwave following the 
addition of HCl and HNO3.  Conductivity and pH were determined by probe (with 
temperature correction) on non-dried samples thoroughly mixed with DDW. 
1.2.2.3 Vegetation Analysis 
Vegetation samples were separated into four parts (root, leaf, stem and inflorescence), 
oven-dried at 35°C and ground to pass through a 2 mm mesh.  All samples were analyzed 
for total P, N, Al, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Si, Sr, Ti and Zn.  Total P, Al, Ba, Ca, 
Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Si, Sr, Ti and Zn analyses were conducted by ICP spectrometry 
 19 
subsequent to their digestion and concentration by microwave following the addition of 
HNO3.  Total N analyses were conducted by colourimetry through a SKALAR 
AutoAnalyzer® subsequent to their digestion and concentration by microwave following 
the addition of H2SO4 catalyzed with a metal sulphate. 
1.2.3 Data Analysis 
All data was tabulated, with means and standard deviations calculated for each parameter, 
depth and plot type.  Water data from depths ranging from 10-0 cm above the SWI to 30-
40 cm (MM) and 40-50 cm (VP) below the SWI were statistically analyzed and graphed 
using SigmaPlot™ 12.0 Graphing and Statistical Software to determine trends with depth 
between sampling plots (vegetated vs. non-vegetated) by month.  Since a trend in the 
distribution of data with depth was observed (indicating additive data), a correction was 
applied to all depths per plot per month, in accordance with the methodology outlined by 
Lee and Stewart (1981).  This involved calculating the overall mean for all samples (all 
plots) within the same depth interval, and then transforming the mean for all samples 
within individual plots to a percentage of the overall mean value: 
 
This approach allowed for the comparison of the concentrations of variables in one plot 
in relation to another, rather than comparing the actual concentration values (Lee and 
Stewart 1981).  Paired t-Tests and ANOVAs were then conducted on the depth-
independent water data for each site, comparing each plot to the other, both within and 
between months.  If the plots were significantly different from each other within the same 
month or if individual plots were significantly different between months (P ≤ 0.05), a 
Tukey Post Hoc Test was conducted to determine where the data differed.

1.3 Results 
1.3.1 Water Chemistry 
In MM, 108 surface water samples (from a depth range of 10 cm to 0 cm above the SWI) 
and 280 pore water samples (from a depth range of 0 cm to 50 cm below the SWI) were 
analyzed.  Table 1.1 presents the concentration ranges (minimum value – maximum 
value), means and stand deviations for all surface and pore water samples analyzed (all 
depths, all months) from MM.  The mean As concentrations were less than the MDL 
In VP, 39 surface water samples (from a depth range of 10 cm to 0 cm above the SWI) 
and 294 pore water samples (from a depth range of 0 cm to 80 cm below the SWI) were 
analyzed.  Table 1.2 presents the concentration ranges (minimum value – maximum 
value), means and stand deviations for all surface and pore water samples analyzed (all 
depths, all months) from VP.  The mean As concentrations were less than the MDL. 
At both sites, pH, total S and Zn concentrations were higher in the surface waters, while 
alkalinity, conductivity, and total P, N, Al, Ba, Ca, Fe and Mn concentrations were higher 
in the pore waters.  Total K, Mg, Na and Sr showed opposite trends in VP vs. MM, with 
total Na concentrations higher in the surface waters of VP (pore waters of MM) and total 
K, Mg and Sr concentrations higher in pore waters of VP (surface waters of MM). 
The total P concentrations in the surface water of VP were indicative of a eutrophic state, 
while the surface waters of MM had P and N concentrations within the range of 
uncontaminated fresh waters (Wetzel 2001; Mitsch and Gosselink 2007).  
N concentrations in the surface water of VP were generally below the MDL, supporting 
the accepted theory that P is the nutrient of primary concern within Lake Simcoe (Winter 
et al. 2007; Palmer et al. 2011; Winter et al. 2011).

VP surface water P concentrations (0.209 ± 0.239 mg/L) were higher than those reported 
in previous studies of Lake Simcoe, with total P values of 0.010 mg/L to 0.015 mg/L 
reported in the open waters of Lake Simcoe (Evans et al. 1996; Winter et al. 2007), a 
mean P concentration of 0.0102 mg/L reported in Atherley Narrows (Eimers et al. 2005) 
and an average P concentration of 0.04 mg/L reported along the shoreline of Lake 
Simcoe (Kilgour et al. 2008).  Elevated P concentrations within VP surface waters may 
be attributed to urban P runoff sources and sediment P release from re-suspension events 
in the shallow wetland and sample collection zone (Søndergaard and Jeppesen 2007). 
Alkalinity and conductivity were much higher in VP compared to MM in both surface 
and pore waters.  Lake Simcoe is a hard-water lake, with average surface water alkalinity 
concentrations reported to range from 116 mg/L to 125 mg/L (Evans et al. 1996; Palmer 
et al. 2011), lower than the surface water concentrations found in both VP (166 mg/L) 
and MM (130 mg/L).  Alkalinity was higher in the pore water vs. the surface water of 
both sites, reflective of the limestone bedrock geology of the area (Armstrong 2000).  
Average surface water conductivity in VP (407 µS/cm) was also higher than the average 
value reported in Lake Simcoe surface waters (345 µS/cm) (Evans et al. 1996).  VP had 
lower pH values compared with MM in both surface and pore waters, with pore water pH 
decreasing with depth at both sites.  Surface water pH in VP (7.12) was lower than the 
reported average value in the surface waters of Lake Simcoe of 8.3 (Evans et al. 1996), 
possibly due to the influence of vegetation and shallow wetland waters. 
For both surface and pore water, total Al, Ba, Fe and Mg concentrations were higher in 
MM, while total Ca, K, Na and Sr concentrations were higher in VP, and similar total 
Mn, S and Zn concentrations were found in both sites.  The Ca concentrations in the 
 24 
surface and pore waters of VP were much higher than in the waters of MM.  Surface 
water Fe concentrations at both sites were lower than the pore water concentrations, a 
consistent trend with earlier pore water studies (Søndergaard 1990; Azcue et al. 1996; 
Pulatsu and Topcu 2009). 
Complete results, including raw analytical data, graphs, results of statistical analyses and 
site photos are included in Appendix A (MM) and Appendix B (VP).  Appendix A, 
Tables A.1.1 to A.1.5 present the mean values, standard deviations and sample sizes for 
the water variables analyzed in MM by 10 cm depth interval (10-0 cm above to 30-40 cm 
below the SWI) from July to October.  Appendix B, Tables B.1.1 to B.1.6 present the 
mean values, standard deviations and sample sizes for the water variables analyzed in VP 
by 10 cm depth interval (10-0 cm above to 40-50 cm below the SWI) from August to 
October.  Values below the method detection limit (MDL) are reported as half of the 
MDL value.  Parameters with mean values less than the MDL are omitted from these 
tables with the exception of nitrate. 
1.3.2 Water Chemistry Data Trends 
Depth profiles of P and N concentrations in August and September are presented 
graphically in Figure 1.5.  The total P and phosphate depth profile for all months was 
similar in VP and MM, with P increasing from the surface water to 10 - 30 cm below the 
SWI, and then decreasing to the maximum depth sampled.  Nitrate was only present in 
measurable concentrations in August in MM and in September in VP, and followed a 
similar depth profile as P.

The observed P concentration depth trend at both sites was consistent with the pore water 
trends reported by Søndergaard (1990), Moore et al. (1994), Templer et al. (1998) with 
T. angustifolia vegetation dominant, Reddy et al. (1999) and Bally et al. (2005).  Nitrate 
in MM (August) had a similar depth trend to those reported for ammonium by Templer et 
al. (1998) in wetlands with T. angustifolia and Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex 
Steud. vegetation dominant, however Jiang et al. (2007) reported an opposite trend for 
total N in Z. latifolia dominant wetlands.  This emphasizes that dominant vegetation 
communities influence N cycling and pore water dynamics. 
Depth profiles of pH, alkalinity and conductivity concentrations in August and September 
are presented graphically in Figure 1.6. 
The pH and conductivity depth profile for all months was similar in VP and MM.  pH 
generally decreased from the surface water to the maximum depth sampled.  The pH 
depth trends reported by Søndergaard (1990) from August to October, Moore et al. 
(1994) and Pulatsu and Topcu (2009) were similar to the observed depth trends in both 
VP and MM.  Conductivity generally increased from the surface water to 10-20 cm 
below the SWI and then remained stable or decreased to the maximum depth sampled.  
The DOC depth trend for August was opposite between VP and MM, with DOC 
decreasing with depth in VP and increasing with depth in MM. 
The alkalinity depth profile for all months was different between VP and MM.  In VP 
alkalinity slightly increased or remained stable with depth, while in MM alkalinity 
increased from surface water to 10-20 cm below the SWI, and then decreased to the 
maximum depth sampled.  The alkalinity depth trends reported by Moore et al. (1994) for 
Menyanthes trifoliata L. were similar to the observed trends in both VP and MM.

Depth profiles of Ca, Fe, K and Mg concentrations in August and September are 
presented graphically in Figure 1.7.  Depth profiles of Mn, Na, S and Zn concentrations 
in August and September are presented graphically in Figure 1.8. 
The concentrations of Al, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na and Sr with depth for all months were 
different between VP and MM.  In VP the Al concentration slightly increased or 
remained stable with depth, while in MM the Al concentration increased with depth.  In 
VP August and in MM for all months, the Ba concentration increased from the surface 
water to 10-20 cm below the SWI and then remained stable or decreased to the maximum 
depth sampled.  In VP during September and October, the Ba concentration increased or 
remained stable to the maximum depth sampled. 
In VP the Ca concentration increased or remained stable with depth, while in MM the Ca 
concentration increased from the surface water to 10-20 cm below the SWI and then 
decreased to the maximum depth sampled.  The total Ca concentration depth trend 
mirrored alkalinity at both sites.  The total Ca concentration depth profile at VP was 
consistent with that reported by Azcue et al. (1996) and Moore et al. (1994) for 
November, while the Ca depth trend at MM was similar to that reported by Bally et al. 
(2005) and Moore et al. (1994) for September.  In VP the Fe concentration increased 
from the surface water to 10-20 cm below the SWI and then decreased to the maximum 
depth sampled, while in MM the Fe concentration increased to the maximum depth 
sampled.  The total Fe concentration depth profile at MM was consistent with the pore 
water trends reported by Søndergaard (1990), Moore et al. (1994) in vegetated plots, and 
Azcue et al. (1996), while the Fe depth profile at VP was similar to those reported by 
Moore et al. (1994) in non-vegetated plots, and Pulatsu and Topcu (2009).

In VP the K concentration increased from the surface water to 10 cm below the SWI and 
then remained stable or decreased to the maximum depth sampled (except in the MV plot 
in October which increased with depth).  In MM the K concentrations decreased with 
depth.  The total K concentration depth profile at VP was similar to the pore water trend 
reported by Azcue et al. (1996). 
In VP the Mg concentration slightly increased or remained stable with depth, while in 
MM the Mg concentration decreased with depth.  The depth profile of total Mg 
concentrations at MM was similar to the pore water trend reported by Bally et al. (2005).  
In VP the Na concentration decreased with depth, while in MM the Na concentration 
increased with depth.  The observed total Na concentration depth trend was consistent 
with the pore water trend reported by Bally et al. (2005), however neither site had a 
similar Na trend to that reported by Azcue et al. (1996).  In VP during August and 
September, and MM in July, August and September, the Sr concentration increased from 
the surface water to 10-20 cm below the SWI and then remained stable or decreased to 
the maximum depth sampled.  In October, the Sr concentration increased with depth in 
VP, while Sr decreased with depth in MM. 
The concentrations of Mn, S and Zn with depth for all months were similar between VP 
and MM.  The Mn concentration increased from the surface water to 10-20 cm below the 
SWI and then decreased or remained stable to the maximum depth sampled.  The total 
Mn depth variation trend was similar to the pore water trend reported by Moore et al. 
(1994); this trend was different from the pore water trend reported by Azcue et al. (1996) 
for Lake Erie waters where Mn increased with depth.  The S concentration decreased 
with depth, while the Zn concentration remained stable or slightly increased with depth.

Similar to water, total recoverable sediment P concentrations were higher in VP 
(1,433 µg/g) compared with MM.  Kilgour et al. (2008) reported a lower average total P 
concentration (447 µg/g) in the shoreline sediments of Lake Simcoe, while Boström 
(1984) reported a higher average total P concentration in the sediments of nine eutrophic 
lakes (2,296 µg/g).  It is interesting to note that the sediment of eutrophic water bodies 
examined by Søndergaard (1989) and Søndergaard et al. (2003) demonstrated a total P 
concentration depth trend similar to the pore water trend in this study, suggesting that the 
observed pore water nutrient trends may have been mirrored in the sediments. 
Total recoverable Al, Ba, Fe, K, Mg, Mn and Ti concentrations were higher in the 
sediment samples of MM, while As, Ca, Na, S, Sr and Zn concentrations were higher in 
the sediment samples of VP.  Landre et al. (2011) reported much higher Al, Ba, Fe and 
Mn concentrations and similar Zn concentrations in the sediments of Lake Simcoe’s 
northern outlet compared to MM and VP.  Boström (1984) reported similar Ca 
concentrations and much higher Al and Fe concentrations in eutrophic sediments 
compared with MM and VP.  The sediment samples from eutrophic water bodies as 
examined by Søndergaard (1989) and Trolle et al. (2009) demonstrated similar depth 
profiles for total Fe and Ca concentrations to the pore water trends in this study.

Northern wild rice plants collected in MM exhibited more vigorous growth, with higher 
biomass than the plants collected from VP.  The total dry weight of 10 plants collected in 
September from VP was 6.96 g and from MM was 41.62 g.  The highest biomass in the 
wild rice plants was contributed by the stems, followed by the roots, leaves and 
inflorescence.  The inflorescence of plants collected in VP were observed to contain few 
seeds, with the leaves having been damaged by waterfowl. 
In MM, 53% of wild rice tissue P was found in the stems and leaves, followed by 28% in 
the inflorescence.  Nitrogen followed a similar trend, with 50% of wild rice tissue N in 
the stems and leaves, followed by 25% in the inflorescence.  In VP, 51% of wild rice 
tissue P was found in the stems and leaves, followed by 22% in the inflorescence.  
Nitrogen followed a similar trend, with 44% of wild rice tissue N found in the stems and 
leaves, followed by 22% in the inflorescence. 
The total plant tissue concentrations of Al, Ba, K, Mg, Mn, Na and Ti were higher in MM 
than in VP, while the total plant tissue concentrations of Ca, Fe, S, Si, Sr and Zn were 
higher VP than in MM.  The As concentration in the plant tissues of both sites were less 
than the MDL for all samples.  In the majority of plant tissue samples, the concentrations 
of metals were highest in the roots. 
1.4 Discussion 
The main nutrient of concern in VP is P, with the surface water P concentrations 
indicative of a eutrophic state (Wetzel 2001) and elevated P concentrations found 
throughout the pore water and sediments.  The retention of P within the sediments of VP 
(discussed in the following sections) is dependent on the surface and pore water 
chemistry of the wetland, as well as the seasonal influence of vegetation growth.
 36 
1.4.1 Water/Sediment Chemistry and Nutrient Retention 
P retention is highest in waters with high Ca, Fe and Al concentrations as well as high 
alkalinity (Reddy et al. 1999), with calcite and alum frequently used in water treatment to 
bind and retain P (Galvez-Cloutier et al. 2006).  House (1999) reported that P 
precipitation with calcite is dependent on temperature, pH and the concentration of other 
precipitating chemicals, with Boström et al. (1988) stating that high pH values favour this 
process.  The high surface water alkalinity and concentrations of Ca and Fe in VP may 
contribute to P retention, however seasonal temperature variations and the near-neutral 
pH (6.83-7.29) may decrease this ability (Mitsch and Gosselink 2007).  Boström et al. 
(1988) suggested that the adsorption of P onto precipitated CaCO3 may occur favourably 
in sediment pore waters due to the presence of elevated P concentrations.  While 
increased P concentrations were present in the pore waters of VP, the observed decrease 
in pH with depth (to a minimum value of 6.36) may have reduced CaCO3 precipitation 
and countered the effect of additional P availability. 
The surface water pH in VP (6.83 - 7.29) was lower than the reported pH value (8 - 10) 
required to induce P liberation from the sediment (Boström and Pettersson 1982).  Shaw 
and Prepas (1990) reported that a pore water Fe to P ratio greater than 1.8 prevents the 
transfer of P into the water column (Pulatsu and Topcu 2009), while Jensen et al. (1992) 
reported that a sediment Fe to P ratio greater than 15 was indicative of a high sediment P 
retention capacity (Søndergaard et al. 2003).  In VP the pore water and sediment Fe to P 
ratios (0.24 and 3.76, respectively) are far below these thresholds, indicating that Fe 
alone in the pore water and sediment of VP is not adequate to retain P. 
 37 
1.4.2 Vegetation Influence 
As shown in Figures 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8, the presence of vegetation influenced pore 
water concentrations and monthly trends for most parameters, with vegetation altering 
concentrations throughout the depth profile (i.e. causing a shift in overall depth profiles).  
In VP (Table 1.2), more pronounced differences were observed in the pore water of the 
mixed-vegetation plot compared with the vegetation plots, indicating differing pore water 
dynamics with a change in dominant vegetation (i.e. N. odorata vs. Z. palustris).  While 
the following discussion includes findings from both VP and MM, the influence of Z. 
palustris on pore water concentration/monthly trends was more pronounced in MM 
(Table 1.1) due to the vigour of the natural wild rice stand (vs. the seeded plots in VP).  
Vegetation influences were observed up to the maximum depth sampled (80 cm below 
the SWI), suggesting that vegetation growth influences sediment pore water chemistry 
beyond the rooting zone, altering pore water concentration gradients. 
1.4.2.1 Northern Wild Rice Water Chemistry Influence 
Northern wild rice vegetation influenced the amount of P and N in wetland waters 
throughout the growing season (Figure 1.5; Tables A.1.9, A.1.10, B.1.10 and B.1.11).  
During the summer (time of greatest biomass increase and N, K and P uptake (Day and 
Lee 1990)), P concentrations were lower in vegetated vs. non-vegetated plots.  This trend 
was reversed in the fall, implying that wild rice vegetation was no longer assimilating P 
within its tissues and potentially acting as a P source through decomposition.  Moore et 
al. (1994) reported a similar trend, observing that plots vegetated with M. trifoliata 
contained lower concentrations of P (compared with non-vegetated plots) in 
August/September, with this trend reversing in November. 
 38 
An opposite trend was observed in the N concentrations in MM plots, with N increasing 
in wild rice vegetated plots in the summer and then decreasing in the fall (Figure 1.5; 
Tables A.1.9, A.1.10, B.1.10 and B.1.11).  This result was unexpected since other studies 
have shown emergent macrophytes to reduce N throughout the growing season 
(Hoagland et al. 2001; Kao et al. 2003; Maine et al. 2005a; Jiang et al. 2007), and the 
majority of N uptake by wild rice occurring in the spring/summer (Walker et al. 2006).  A 
potential explanation for this trend is that the N held in below-ground wild rice litter from 
the previous growing season was released through decomposition processes in the 
spring/summer, with this excess N subsequently removed through denitrification in the 
fall (Sain 1984; Walker et al. 2010). 
Wild rice vegetation generally decreased pore water pH, alkalinity and conductivity 
(Figure 1.6; Tables 1.1, 1.2, A.1.9, A.1.10, B.1.10 and B.1.11).  A similar water pH trend 
in vegetated plots was observed by Søndergaard (1990), Moore et al. (1994) and Lee and 
McNaughton (2004).  Conlin and Crowder (1989) determined that three common 
emergent wetland species, T. latifolia, P. australis and Carex rostrata Stokes, all lowered 
their rhizosphere pH through oxidation.  This acidification would be increased in the fall 
through vegetation decomposition (Søndergaard 1990), consistent with the monthly pH 
trend observed in MM.  A similar alkalinity trend was reported by Moore et al. (1994) 
between the pore waters of vegetated and non-vegetated plots.  Lee and McNaughton 
(2004) observed an opposite conductivity trend in the surface waters of a wild rice 
vegetated area, however pore water trends were not examined. 
Wild rice vegetation generally decreased pore water Al and K (Figures 1.7, A.2.8 and 
B.2.8; Tables 1.1, 1.2, A.1.9, A.1.10, B.1.10 and B.1.11).  K was likely assimilated into 
 39 
the biomass of wild rice vegetation (Day and Lee 1990), while Al (present in low 
concentrations) may have been adsorbed during the growing season onto wild rice iron 
root plaques (Batty et al. 2002).  Wild rice vegetation generally increased pore water Ba, 
Fe, Mg, Mn and Zn (Figures 1.7, 1.8, A.2.9 and B.2.9; Tables 1.1, 1.2, A.1.9, A.1.10, 
B.1.10 and B.1.11).  Lee and McNaughton (2004) found a similar Fe trend and an 
opposite S trend in the surface waters of wild rice vegetated areas.  An opposite Fe and 
Mn concentration trend was reported by Moore et al. (1994) between the pore waters of 
vegetated and non-vegetated plots.  If the observed decrease in pore water pH extended 
beyond the oxidized root zone, this could explain the observed increase in Fe and Mn 
concentrations (more soluble in lower pH conditions (Wetzel 2001)).  Pore water Mg 
concentrations may have been influenced by below-ground wild rice litter decomposition 
releasing Mg (Sain 1984). 
Monthly and site-specific trends were observed in Ca, Na, S and Sr (Figures 1.7, 1.8, 
A.2.17 and B.2.17; Tables 1.1, 1.2, A.1.9, A.1.10, B.1.10 and B.1.11).  Summer Ca and 
Sr concentrations were lower in wild rice vegetated vs. non-vegetated plots, with this 
trend reversed in the fall.  Lee and McNaughton (2004) reported a similar monthly 
Ca trend in the surface waters of wild rice vegetated areas, however Moore et al. (1994) 
reported lower Ca concentrations in the pore waters of vegetated and non-vegetated plots 
throughout the growing season.  Pore water Ca concentrations may have been influenced 
by below-ground wild rice litter decomposition, releasing Ca in the summer season (Sain 
1984).  Lee and McNaughton (2004) found that Sr concentrations increased throughout 
the growing season in the surface waters of wild rice vegetated areas, however limited 
literature is available on the effect of vegetation on Sr concentrations.  Summer 
 40 
S concentrations were higher in wild rice vegetated vs. non-vegetated plots, with this 
trend reversed in the fall.  The S held in below-ground wild rice litter from the previous 
growing season may have been released through decomposition in the summer, with this 
excess S precipitating as FeS later in the fall with the increased available pore water Fe 
(Sain 1984; Søndergaard 1990).  Wild rice vegetation had an opposite effect on pore 
water Na concentrations in VP vs. MM; limited literature is available on fresh water Na 
concentration trends and the effect of vegetation. 
1.4.2.2 Northern Wild Rice Tissue Assimilation 
Similar to the findings of Oelke et al. (2000), approximately half of the wild rice tissue P 
and N was found in the stems and leaves, followed by approximately a quarter of tissue P 
and N in the inflorescence (Tables 1.4 and 1.5).  The maximum plant tissue total P 
concentration in this study (5,790 µg/g in MM) was much higher than the P 
concentrations reported for Z. palustris by Malvick and Percich (1993) and Lee and 
McNaughton (2004).  Similar to the findings of Bennett et al. (2000) who studied heavy 
metal uptake in Z. palustris, metal concentrations were highest in the root tissues.  After 
the growing season, Sain (1984) found that dead/fallen wild rice plants release the 
majority of their nutrients in the first three weeks of decomposition (late fall), with 98% 
of K, 82 % Ca, 81% P, 79% S, 72% Mg and 57% N released after 350 days. 
1.4.3 Northern Wild Rice and Nutrient Retention 
Wild rice contributed to nutrient retention during the growing season in both wetlands by 
modifying rhizosphere chemistry.  Wild rice vegetation reduced P availability in 
sediment pore waters in the summer (Figure 1.5; Tables 1.1, 1.2, A.1.9, A.1.10, B.1.10 
and B.1.11) when the majority of problems associated with eutrophication are 
 41 
experienced (Reddy et al. 1999).  Wild rice contributed directly to P and N retention 
through nutrient assimilation in its tissues (Tables 1.4 and 1.5), and potentially through 
the development of Fe and Mn oxide plaques and Al phosphate precipitates on its roots.  
P adsorption onto FeOOH appears to be the primary process governing sediment P 
retention when high concentrations of Fe are present (Reddy et al. 1999; Søndergaard et 
al. 2003; Maine et al. 2005b; Olli et al. 2009).  Mn oxide plaques (which can adsorb P) 
and Al phosphate precipitates are often found on macrophyte roots with an oxidized 
rhizosphere (Christensen and Sand-Jensen 1998; Batty et al. 2002).  Jorgenson et al. 
(2013 Botany - in press) found that substantial iron plaques (i.e. precipitated FeOOH) 
formed on the roots of northern wild rice were composed mainly of Fe, O, Al and K, 
however P was not found to be included in the plaques.  Wild rice also indirectly 
contributed to nutrient retention through decreasing pore water pH (Tables 1.1 and 1.2), 
and subsequently increasing the availability of pore water Fe and Mn for P adsorption.  
Wild rice also likely contributed to enhanced denitrification though decomposition in the 
wetland however plant decomposition was not examined in this study. 
After the growing season, nutrients will be released from senesced wild rice through 
decomposition and leaching (Sain 1984; Reddy et al. 1999; Mitsch and Gosselink 2007).  
Since wild rice is an economically viable cultivated species, plant harvest at the end of 
the growing season may provide a permanent nutrient removal mechanism (Jiang et al. 
2007).  Seed harvest alone would permanently remove some nutrients from the wetland 
(Keenan and Lee 1988).  The vegetation analysis in this study (Tables 1.4 and 1.5) 
indicates that approximately 10% of the total P and N found in wild rice plant tissue 
could be removed through seed harvest (estimate allows for 15% of the analyzed 
 42 
inflorescence N and P remaining in litter and fallen seed).  While this quantity could 
become significant over several years (Keenan and Lee 1988), harvesting the entire plant 
at the end of the growing season (in fall, prior to senescence) would result in the largest 
nutrient removal. 
Unlike perennial species, P and N remain in wild rice plant tissues until the end of the 
growing season since plants regenerate from seed the following year (Morris and Lajtha 
1986).  With proper harvesting and management techniques, northern wild rice grown in 
eutrophic water bodies could contribute to nutrient reduction strategies.  Macrophyte 
harvesting has been effectively used in eutrophication remediation strategies, with these 
efforts enhanced through the use of economically valuable plants (Jiang et al. 2007; 
Pulatsu and Topcu 2009).  Since northern wild rice is a valuable cultivated crop that 
requires little effort to be uprooted and removed from a water body, additional study 
appears warranted to examine to the potential of wild rice harvest as an eutrophication 
reduction strategy. 
1.4.4 Conclusion 
Nutrient and metal distribution within wetland waters is highly site dependent, with 
vegetation type and distribution adding to this variability.  Northern wild rice growth 
alters sediment pore water chemistry, contributing to nutrient retention during the 
growing season.  Harvesting northern wild rice vegetation (including the economically 
viable seed) could present a method for permanent nutrient removal in eutrophic water 
bodies.  With proper harvesting and management techniques, northern wild rice grown in 
eutrophic water bodies could contribute to nutrient reduction strategies and present a 
viable phytoremediation species for nutrient removal efforts.

CHAPTER 2 
Electron microscopy study of iron plaques on the roots of northern wild rice 
(Zizania palustris) 
 
2.1 Introduction 
As an adaptation to the anaerobic wetland environment, many aquatic macrophytes 
transport oxygen from their aerial biomass to the below-ground roots, aerating the 
surrounding sediment (through radial oxygen loss) and creating an aerobic rhizosphere 
(Armstrong 1964; Conlin and Crowder 1989; Mitsch and Gosselink 2007).  Numerous 
biogeochemical processes occur within this oxidized rhizosphere, including the oxidation 
of iron from its ferrous (Fe
2+
) to ferric (Fe
3+
) form (Crowder and MacFie 1986; Begg et 
al. 1994; Christensen and Wigand 1998).  This reaction frequently results in the 
precipitation of ferric hydroxide onto root surfaces, visible as an orange-brown coating or 
plaque on wetland plant roots (Mendelssohn and Postek 1982; Crowder and MacFie 
1986; St-Cyr et al. 1993; Caetano and Vale 2002). 
The deposition of iron plaque depends on many biotic and abiotic factors, including plant 
anatomy, microbial activity and reactive iron pool availability in the sediment (Neubauer 
et al. 2007; Povidisa and Holmer 2008).  The structure, composition and function of iron 
root plaques has been studied on several emergent aquatic macrophytes, including Typha 
latifolia L. (Taylor et al. 1984; Ye et al. 1998), Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex 
Steud. (Batty et al. 2000), Juncus effusus L. (Weiss et al. 2005; Neubauer et al. 2007) and 
Oryza sativa L. (Bacha and Hossner 1977; Green and Etherington 1977; Chen et al. 
1980a, 1980b; Johnson-Green and Crowder 1991; Liang et al. 2006; Zhou and Shi 2007; 
Chen et al. 2008; Deng et al. 2010; Liu et al. 2011).  Snowden and Wheeler (1995) 
 44 
examined iron hydroxide precipitation on the roots of 44 wetland species and found that 
only certain species had the ability to form iron root plaques, with iron-tolerant 
monocotyledons producing the most intense plaques.  Iron-oxidizing and iron-reducing 
bacteria also contribute to the formation and reduction of iron root plaque, suggesting that 
a localized iron cycle exists within the wetland plant rhizosphere (St-Cyr et al. 1993; 
Mendelssohn et al. 1995; Neubauer et al. 2002; Weiss et al. 2003; Chen et al. 2008). 
Iron plaques are mainly composed of amorphous iron hydroxides and the crystalline 
ferric hydroxide particles lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) and goethite (α-FeOOH) (Bacha and 
Hossner 1977; Chen et al. 1980a; Crowder and MacFie 1986; St-Cyr et al. 1993).  Other 
elements commonly found incorporated into plaques include Al, Ca, Mn, P and silicate 
impurities such as quartz and clay (Chen et al. 1980a; St-Cyr et al. 1993; Batty et al. 
2002; Hupfer and Dollan 2003). 
Iron plaques usually appear as unevenly distributed precipitates on the surface of wetland 
plant roots (Mendelssohn and Postek 1982; Batty et al. 2002).  The structure of iron 
plaques range from porous and thin to dense and thick, depending on the amount of iron 
hydroxide accumulated (Bacha and Hossner 1977; Chen et al. 1980a; St-Cyr and 
Campbell 1996).  Thin iron plaques occur as amorphous layers of precipitate that take the 
form of the root epidermis (Bacha and Hossner 1977; Batty et al. 2002).  Thick iron 
plaques can range from 1 µm to 15 µm coatings (St-Cyr et al. 1993), up to 1 mm thick 
crusts (Hupfer and Dollan 2003) and 4 mm thick rhizoconcretions (Caetano and Vale 
2002) in some environments.  Iron plaques have commonly been observed to penetrate 
the root epidermis cells of wetland plants, while in some species plaques can penetrate up 
to the root cortex cells (Green and Etherington 1977; Taylor et al. 1984).  Iron hydroxides 
 45 
often fill open cell cavities in the root epidermis and have been observed to form 
complete casts of former cells (Chen et al. 1980b; Taylor et al. 1984). 
Numerous studies have investigated the potential function of iron root plaques in 
sequestering heavy metals such as As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn (St-Cyr and Campbell 
1996; Ye et al. 1997; Ye et al. 1998; Batty et al. 2002; Deng et al. 2010; Li et al. 2010; 
Liu et al. 2011) and nutrients including P (Chambers and Odum 1990; Christensen and 
Sand-Jensen 1998; Hupfer and Dollan 2003; Liang et al. 2006; Jiang et al. 2009; Xu et al. 
2009).  This sequestration ability is attributed to the high adsorption capacity of iron 
hydroxides, resulting in the adsorption or co-precipitation and incorporation of a number 
of elements into plaques (Chen et al. 1980a; Liu et al. 2011).  The capacity of iron plaque 
to influence heavy metal or nutrient uptake is highly variable and depends on a number of 
factors including the amount of iron plaque on the root, plant species/cultivar, root age, 
sediment chemistry and the contaminant/nutrient of interest (Otte et al. 1989; Ye et al. 
1997; Ye et al. 1998; Zhou and Shi 2007; Xu et al. 2009; Deng et al. 2010; Liu et al. 
2011). 
Plaques may also function as nutrient reservoirs, with P bound in the plaque available to 
plants when required (Christensen and Sand-Jensen 1998; Liang et al. 2006; Chen et al. 
2008; Xu et al. 2009), however this function is limited by the amount of plaque present 
on the root since excessive amounts can act as a physical barrier to P uptake (Xu et al. 
2009).  The potential interaction between P and iron plaques on wetland plant roots is of 
particular interest in its application to bioremediation efforts in nutrient-impacted water 
bodies.  Several studies have concluded that plants with a propensity to form iron root 
 46 
plaques are advantageous to such efforts (Chambers and Odum 1990; Hupfer and Dollan 
2003; Xu et al. 2009). 
This study examined iron root plaques on northern wild rice (Zizania palustris L.).  
Northern wild rice is an emergent annual aquatic grass that grows in shallow lake waters 
and slow-moving rivers across eastern and north-central North America (Aiken et al. 
1988; Painchaud and Archibold 1990).  Zizania sp. grow in a wide range of water and 
sediment types, are relatively stress tolerant and have a high potential for root-zone 
aeration (Aiken et al. 1988; Tanner 1996).  Iron plaques have been observed on the roots 
of Zizania sp. (Yamasaki 1987; Aiken et al. 1988; Xu et al. 2009) which are known to 
oxidize the rhizosphere through their well-defined system of aerenchyma (Stover 1928; 
Lee and McNaughton 2004).  Wild rice roots are up to 4 mm in diameter, lack root hairs, 
have a hypodermis (acting as the functional epidermis in older roots), possess a band of 
supportive sclerenchyma and a cortex with extensive aerenchyma (Stover 1928). 
The objective of this study was to examine the deposition, composition and structure of 
iron plaque formed on the roots of Z. palustris.  The goal was to increase our 
understanding of the anatomy of northern wild rice roots, their interactions with 
surrounding sediments and potential contribution to bioremediation efforts.  To the 
knowledge of the Authors, northern wild rice root anatomy has not been examined 
through SEM, nor have iron root plaques been studied in this species.

2.2 Materials and Methods 
2.2.1 Study Area 
Five freshwater lakes/wetlands were selected across Ontario, Canada that support annual 
stands of northern wild rice (Figure 2.1).  Study sites were chosen from a range of water 
bodies in Ontario that have been a focus of ongoing/historic wild rice research.  Partridge 
Crop Lake (48° 43’ 33” N, 92° 22’ 53” W), located approximately 3 km east of the 
community of Seine River First Nation, is a small lake (expansion of Seine River) with 
northern wild rice stands along its shores.  Lower Steep Rock Lake (48° 45’ 57” N, 91° 
40’ 08” W), located approximately 2.5 km west of the Town of Atikokan, is a part of a 
complex of lakes with a natural stand of northern wild rice.  Wild rice is currently 
harvested and consumed from both lakes by Seine River First Nation community 
members.  However, concerns about potential heavy metal contamination from nearby 
historic iron-ore mining operations have prompted wild rice research in recent years.  
Whitefish Lake (48° 13’ 43” N, 90° 03’ 49” W), located approximately 60 km southwest 
of the City of Thunder Bay, is a large lake (3,015 ha in size (Lee and McNaughton 2004)) 
with northern wild rice stands along its western shore.  This lake has been used for 
research into macrophyte-induced microchemical water column changes, specifically 
within wild rice beds (Lee and McNaughton 2004).  Lake Tamblyn (48° 25’ 12” N, 89° 
15’ 47” W), located within the Lakehead University campus in the City of Thunder Bay, 
is a man-made lake (constructed in the 1960s as an expansion of McIntyre River (TBFN 
2008)) with northern wild rice growth monitored annually along the shoreline.  
Marchmont Marsh (44° 38’ 03” N, 79 31’ 03” W), located approximately 5 km west of 
the City of Orillia, is a wetland (expansion of a North River tributary) with natural stands 
 48 
of northern wild rice along its shores.  Current research in this wetland focused on the 
influence of wild rice on sediment pore water chemistry.

ESRI (2012). 
 
2.2.2 Sample Collection and Preparation Procedures 
2.2.2.1 Northern Wild Rice 
Five mature northern wild rice plants were extracted from each sample site in September 
2011.  Samples with intact roots were placed in plastic bags, sealed, labelled and 
refrigerated.  During sample collection, the roots of all samples extended to a depth of 
approximately 35 cm below the sediment-water interface.  Prop roots were observed to 
originate from one to three nodes above the sediment-water interface and extended 
diagonally into the sediment surface.  The majority of roots (including prop roots) were 
orange-brown in colour and ranged up to four millimetres in diameter.  Ten roots with 
plaque (orange-brown in colour, Figure 2.2) were removed from each sample.  Four roots 
without plaque (light yellow to white in colour) were also removed from two sites and 
 49 
treated as controls (it was difficult to find multiple plaque-free roots due to end of 
growing season, thus controls were only collected from two sites).  All roots were rinsed 
with distilled deionized water and placed on a clean cutting surface.  Random sections 
(no longer than 2 mm) were cut with a clean ceramic knife.  Root fragments were 
grouped according to their relative age, based on distance from the root tip.  Samples 
were then placed in clean Petri dishes, freeze-dried (LABCONCO® Freeze Dry System) 
for a minimum of 24 hours and finally sealed and stored in a glass desiccator until 
examination.

2.2.2.2 Surface Water and Sediment 
Current and historic surface water and sediment analytical data from locations close to 
the northern wild rice sample sites was gathered.  Surface water and sediment samples 
were collected from Marchmont Marsh and Lake Tamblyn for this study.  One surface 
water sample per month was collected from Marchmont Marsh from June to October 
2010.  Two sediment samples were also collected, one each in June and October 2010.  
One surface water and one sediment sample was collected from Lake Tamblyn in June 
2012.  All surface water samples were collected directly into clean 250 mL plastic 
bottles, sealed, labelled and transported in coolers to the Lakehead University 
 50 
Environmental Laboratory (LUEL) for analyses.  All sediment samples (grab samples of 
top 10 cm of sediment) were collected by pre-cleaned shovel into new plastic bags, 
sealed, labelled and transported in coolers to the LUEL for analysis. 
Published data was available for Whitefish Lake from Lee and McNaughton (2004), with 
their “Wild Rice (30 m) Station” closest to the current northern wild rice sample site.  
Seven surface water and sediment sample collection events occurred at this Station, with 
one sample collected per event from June to September 1997 (Lee and McNaughton 
2004).  Unpublished data was available for Partridge Crop Lake and Lower Steep Rock 
Lake, with two Sample Stations per lake being closest to the northern wild rice sample 
sites
1
.  Two sample collection events occurred at these Stations, with one surface water 
and sediment sample collected per event in July and September 2011.  Samples from both 
of these sources were collected in a similar manner to those from Marchmont Marsh and 
Lake Tamblyn, and were also submitted to the LUEL for analysis. 
2.2.3 Analytical Procedures 
2.2.3.1 Northern Wild Rice 
Sample preparation and analysis procedures followed those described in Batty et al. 
(2002).  Prepared samples for Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) investigation were 
mounted on alum stubs with carbon tape.  12 samples were carbon-coated prior to 
examination and used for method refinement.  Samples were examined on a JEOL® 
JSM-5900LV SEM fitted with an Energy-Dispersive X-ray Analyzer (EDXA).  Images 
collected by SEM were displayed with atomic number contrast through backscatter

electron signals (LUCAS 2009a, 2009b).  Spectrums generated by EDXA on a specified 
area (100 µm to 400 µm
2
 in size) over a period of 50 seconds indicated all detectable 
elements in a specific area using a solid state detector (LUCAS 2009a, 2009b).  Spectrum 
peaks were labelled according to the chemical signature of dominant elements and plotted 
as graphs (LUCAS 2009a).  While EDXA does not quantify elements, an examination of 
the relative presence/absence of elements was considered appropriate for an 
understanding of plaque composition in this study.  Root plaque (DCB) extraction 
techniques were not conducted because they are often considered harsh (especially on 
control samples) with a tendency to strip elements from within the root resulting in an 
overestimation of element concentrations (Bacha and Hossner 1977; Batty et al. 2000). 
In total, 38 northern wild rice samples were examined from the five sampling sites.  
Specifically, six samples each from Partridge Crop Lake and Lower Steep Rock Lake, ten 
from Whitefish Lake (including three control samples), five from Lake Tamblyn and 
eleven from Marchmont Marsh (including three control samples) were examined.  Image 
and x-ray spectrum data was collected from each sample to capture distinct plaque 
features.  Elemental mapping of specific elements (Al, Fe, K, O, P and Si) was also 
conducted on select samples.  An in-depth surface investigation was also conducted to 
examine plaque anomalies on two gold-coated samples using a Hitachi® SU-70 SEM. 
 52 
2.2.3.2 Surface Water and Sediment 
All sample analyses were conducted at the Lakehead University Environmental 
Laboratory (LUEL), a Canadian Association of Laboratory Accreditation (CALA) ISO 
17025 accredited laboratory.  All analyses followed standard operating procedures and 
included the use of blanks, quality control samples and duplicates. 
2.2.4 Data Analysis 
2.2.4.1 Northern Wild Rice 
From SEM image data, images were compiled by sample site and plaque 
presence/absence and deposition was recorded (including plaque type, percent coverage, 
thickness and location).  From EDXA x-ray spectra data, the top five elements according 
to relative peak heights were identified and recorded. 
2.2.4.2 Surface Water and Sediment 
All surface water and sediment analytical values were tabulated, with means and standard 
deviations calculated and recorded. 
2.3 Results 
All raw data, analytical results and photos are included in Appendix C.

2.3.2 Northern Wild Rice 
2.3.2.1 Root Anatomy 
Roots examined from all sites demonstrated similar anatomical characteristics, with no 
observed differences apparent between study sites.  Figure 2.3 presents representative 
SEM images of cross-sectioned northern wild rice root samples.  Root hairs were not 
observed on the root surfaces, nor were root epidermis cells (described by Stover (1928) 
to be present on young roots).  A band of sclerenchyma was present adjacent to the 
hypodermis of all samples, and was observed to be one to three cells in thickness.  
Aerenchyma were observed throughout the cortex of the majority of samples.  Four to 
five xylem tubules were observed in the vascular cylinder of all cross-sectioned samples.

2.3.2.2 Plaque Presence 
Considerable variation in plaque deposition was observed along the surface of individual 
roots and between roots of the same sample.  Through SEM/EDXA examination, 92% 
(35 of 38) samples were confirmed to have plaque formation according to the following 
 56 
criteria: 1) visible orange-brown coating on the root surface; and/or 2) iron as one of the 
five most abundant elements through EDXA (Bacha and Hossner 1977; Chen et al. 
1980b; Mendelssohn and Postek 1982; Taylor et al. 1984; Snowden and Wheeler 1995; 
Batty et al. 2000; Batty et al. 2002).  Data from samples that were orange-brown in 
colour but without confirmed iron root plaque (8%) were excluded from the 
results/observations. 
2.3.2.3 Plaque Structure 
In total, 76 SEM images were collected from the root surface of samples with plaque and 
11 SEM images from the root surface of samples without plaque.  Three types of plaque 
deposition were observed: thin plaque, crust plaque and plaque-filled cells (Figure 2.4). 
Thin plaque was present on 21.1% of sample SEM images.  Thin plaque was detected by 
the presence of an orange-brown colour on the root surface and by EDXA spectra with 
high peaks of iron and oxygen relative to other elements.  The depth of thin plaques was 
not discernible and was reasoned to be <0.1 µm thick.  Samples from all sites had thin 
plaque, with thin plaque as the second-most dominant plaque type for Lake Tamblyn, 
Partridge Crop Lake and Whitefish Lake.  Crust plaque was present on 47.4% of sample 
SEM images.  Crust plaques were observed to be a thick (1 µm to 14 µm) crust-like layer 
of precipitate visible on the surface of root epidermis cells.  Crust plaques often followed 
contours of individual epidermis cells.  Samples from all sites had crust plaque, with crust 
plaque as the dominant plaque type for all sites except Marchmont Marsh.  A 
combination of thin and crust plaque was present on 11.8% of sample SEM images, with 
this plaque type dominant in Marchmont Marsh samples and second-most dominant in 
Lower Steep Rock Lake samples.

cells (1) and thin plaque (2) (Lake Tamblyn); F. x2,000, sample with thin crust plaque, 
cross-section view (Lower Steep Rock Lake). 
 
Plaque-filled cells were observed as single root epidermis cells that contained precipitate 
within the cell cavities.  Plaque-filled cells were inconsistently distributed across the root 
epidermis, with 15.8% of sample SEM images having a combination of thin plaque and 
 58 
plaque-filled cells.  Samples from all sites (except Lower Steep Rock Lake) had a 
combination of thin plaque and plaque-filled cells, with this plaque type second-most 
dominant in Marchmont Marsh samples.  The remaining 3.9% of sample SEM images 
(from Lower Steep Rock Lake only) had a combination of crust plaque and plaque-filled 
cells, though this number may be under-represented due to the potential of crust plaque 
obscuring the observation of plaque-filled cells. 
In comparing plaque frequency between sites, Lake Tamblyn samples had the greatest 
occurrence of thin plaques and Partridge Crop Lake had the greatest occurrence of crust 
plaques, while Marchmont Marsh had the greatest occurrence of combination plaques 
(thin plaque with crust or plaque-filled cells). 
Plaque casts were observed in two samples with crust plaque present on the root surface.  
As first described by Chen et al. (1980b), the plaque appeared to have solidly filled 
several epidermis cells, forming casts of the former cell walls (Figure 2.5).

2.3.2.4 Plaque Composition 
In total, 87 EDXA x-ray spectra were collected from the root surface of samples with 
plaque and 19 EDXA x-ray spectra were collected from the root surface of control 
samples (Figure 2.6).  Fe was present in the x-ray spectra of all root plaques examined, 
with Fe as one of the two most abundant elements in 96.6% of plaques (after carbon 
spectra correction (LUCAS 2009a)).  Fe and O were the two most abundant elements in 
67.8% of plaque x-ray spectra, followed by: 13.8% with Fe and Al; 10.3% with Fe and K; 
3.5% with Fe and Si; and 1.2 % with Fe and Cl.  The remaining 3.4% contained O and 
either Si, S or Cl.  Al was present on their root surface of 74% of control samples, 
followed by 26% with Ca, 21% with K, 16% with S and <5% with Cl, Si or Fe. 
2.3.2.5 Plaque Deposition 
In total, 61 EDXA x-ray spectra (with associated SEM images) were collected along the 
cross-section profile of nine root samples with plaque and four EDXA x-ray spectra 
along the cross-section profile of two root samples without plaque (Figure 2.7).  Fe was 
detected on the epidermis cell surface of all root samples with plaque, with iron present in 
the interior of the epidermis cells of 92.9% of samples.  Fe was present in the interior of 
the outer cortex cells in 46.7% of these samples, and in the interior of the cortex cells in 
21.4 % of these samples.  Fe was not present in the vascular cylinder cells of any sample, 
nor was Fe detected in any cells of the control samples. 
EXDA maps of elemental distribution (Figure 2.8) found that Fe, Al and Si were most 
abundant on the surface and interior of root epidermis cells.  K, O and P were evenly 
distributed throughout the root.  Fe was abundant on the surface of samples with plaque, 
while Fe was scarcely present on the surface/interior of samples without plaque.

2.3.2.6 Plaque Anomalies 
Grooves were observed in the crust plaque surface of two samples (confirmed through 
the examination of gold-plated samples), one each from Marchmont Marsh and Whitefish 
Lake (Figure 2.9).  All grooves were rounded, approximately 0.4 µm in diameter and up 
to 6 µm in length, and were found either along the plaque surface or penetrating into the 
plaque.  Grooves were inconsistently distributed across the plaque surface, their 
appearance confined to specific areas of thick crust plaque.

2.4 Discussion 
2.4.1 Surface Water and Sediment 
The variable surface water and sediment chemistries of each site do not appear to have 
influenced the deposition, composition or structure of iron plaques on the roots of 
northern wild rice.  Plaque composition and structure was similar in samples examined 
from both Lake Tamblyn (highest sediment metal concentrations) and Whitefish Lake 
(lowest sediment metal concentrations), suggesting that wild rice roots generate similar 
plaques independent of sediment metal concentrations.  Surface water and sediment pH 
was within the range expected to support Fe precipitation at all sites (Patrick and 
Henderson 1981).  Although sediment redox potentials can also influence the formation 
of Fe plaque (Taylor et al. 1984), redox potential data was not collected in this study. 
2.4.2 Northern Wild Rice 
2.4.2.1 Root Anatomy 
Observations of the root system of northern wild rice, including root length, diameter, 
and the presence of prop roots, were similar to those described by Aiken et al. (1988).  
Orange-brown plaque and aerenchyma were observed on/in the majority of roots, 
suggesting that root-zone aeration occurs throughout the entire root system.  Stover 
(1928) provides a detailed description of the anatomy of Zizania aquatica L. roots, 
though taxonomic debates occurred throughout the 1900s on the division between Z. 
palustris and Z. aquatica (Aiken et al. 1988).  The majority of root anatomy observations 
made in this study are similar to those of Stover (1928), including the hypodermis acting 
as the functional epidermis (i.e. outer-most layer of cells), the absence of root hairs and 
large aerenchyma appearing to be first schizogenous then lysigenous in formation. 
 65 
2.4.2.2 Plaque Distribution 
No consistent pattern of plaque deposition was observed on the samples collected from 
all five sites, with the appearance of iron root plaques varying little between sites and 
within samples.  Iron plaque deposition was inconsistent between different roots of the 
same plant (i.e. the amount of plaque varied between roots) and along the surface of 
individual roots (i.e. no plaque zonation observed based on age or distance from root tip). 
Several studies have reported trends in iron root plaque deposition based on root age, 
with older roots having a larger amount of plaque deposition compared with younger 
roots or younger root parts on the same plant (Chen et al. 1980b; Taylor et al. 1984; Begg 
et al. 1994; Snowden and Wheeler 1995).  Batty et al. (2002) found that plaque deposited 
on the root surface of P. australis grown in a laboratory setting with adequate nutrients 
showed definite zonation, with plaque beginning 1 cm from the root tip and darkening 
with distance from the tip. 
The natural variability of in-situ rhizosphere chemistry along with seasonal trends may 
have contributed to the lack of plaque zonation observed in this study.  Ye et al. (1997) 
discussed the possibility that plaque deposition differs on hydroponic vs. field-grown 
plants due to the lack of root-induced rhizosphere changes present in nutrient solution 
and to the structural differences of adult plants vs. seedlings (shorter growth-periods 
common in hydroponic studies).  Since all samples in this study were collected at the end 
of the growing season, slowed root growth may have provided root tips with adequate 
time for plaque deposition. 
 66 
2.4.2.3 Plaque Composition 
The majority of plaques contained Fe and O as their most abundant elements, consistent 
with the accepted composition of iron root plaques as iron hydroxides, FeOOH (Bacha 
and Hossner 1977; Chen et al. 1980a).  Plaques also frequently contained Al, Ca, K, S 
and Si, however these elements were found on control sample surfaces as well, and no 
relationship was observed between Fe and the presence/location of these elements.  These 
findings suggest that these elements may have been included in the plaque through 
incorporated sediment particles or have been adsorbed to the plaque from sediment pore 
water.  This hypothesis is supported by multiple studies that have found additional 
elements included in root plaques, such as Al, As, Ca, Cl, Cu, K, Mn, P, Si and Zn (Chen 
et al. 1980a; St-Cyr et al. 1993; St-Cyr and Campbell 1996; Batty et al. 2000; Batty et al. 
2002; Caetano and Vale 2002; Hupfer and Dollan 2003; Jiang et al. 2009).  Batty et al. 
(2002) also commented that Si and Al observed in the iron root plaques of field-grown 
plants were likely indicative of the presence of clay particles. 
Phosphorus was absent in the iron root plaques examined.  Several studies have found P 
associated with iron root plaques (Chambers and Odum 1990; Hupfer and Dollan 2003), 
however the absence of P in the plaques of this study may be a result of the examination 
of field vs. laboratory-grown specimens.  In addition to the aforementioned differences in 
rhizosphere chemistry, the availability of P in laboratory nutrient solutions is generally 
greater than in the field (Batty et al. 2000).  Batty et al. (2000) compared iron root 
plaques on both laboratory and field-grown P. australis specimens, concluding that the 
absence of P in the plaque of field-grown specimens was due its extremely low 
concentration at the study site.  The presence of iron root plaques may have influenced 
 67 
the bioavailability of P in the rhizosphere due to an enhanced uptake effect (Liang et al. 
2006; Xu et al. 2009), however this study did not examine this potential relationship. 
2.4.2.4 Plaque Morphology 
A range of plaque densities (from thin to crust) was observed across the surfaces of each 
root, similar to the observations of Bacha and Hossner (1977), Taylor et al. (1984) and 
Batty et al. (2002).  Thin plaques were observed to have no structure on the root surface, 
unlike the textured appearance of the amorphous deposits observed by Bacha and 
Hossner (1977) and Batty et al. (2002).  This lack of observed thin plaque structure may 
have been due to the absence of gold-coating on SEM samples (due to EDXA 
requirements) which is generally required for the examination of fine-scale topography 
(LUCAS 2009c).  Thinner crust plaques maintained the shape of epidermal cells (visible 
as cracks within the crust surface), while thicker crust plaques were observed as a solid 
coating on the root surface, entirely concealing the shape of epidermis cells.  These 
observations are similar to that of Taylor et al. (1984), who found that heavy plaques 
masked the outline of individual cells, in some cases forming an even layer covering the 
root surface. 
Cross-sectioned samples containing both plaque-filled cells and cells with thin plaque 
were observed to have iron hydroxide contained within the cell and no additional plaque 
deposited on the cell surface.  Plaque may have precipitated in an increased concentration 
within single cells due to broken/deteriorated cell walls increasing the permeability of 
cells, however the cause of this selective deterioration is unknown.  Thicker crust plaques 
were found associated with collapsed epidermal cells, similar to the observations of 
Taylor et al. (1984).  Where portions of thicker crust plaque had broken away from the 
 68 
root surface (likely during sample preparation), the surfaces of the epidermal cells 
appeared to have also been removed.  This finding suggests that iron hydroxide was 
present both within and on the cell surface, in effect cementing the collapsed cell wall 
within the plaque. 
This hypothesis is supported by the presence of plaque-filled cells and the occurrence of 
cell casts in some samples.  In contrast to the casts described by Chen et al. (1980b), a 
relic of the former cell wall was observed in one of the samples (Image B, Figure 2.10), 
suggesting that the outermost cell wall collapsed and became incorporated into the crust 
plaque.  The cell casts were also solid in appearance and did not have a hollow interior 
like the casts observed by Chen et al. (1980b). 
The plaque formation model presented by Chen et al. in 1980(b) assumes that the outer 
cell walls decompose when iron hydroxide is precipitated both on the root surface and 
within the cell cavities, while Taylor et al. (1984) suggested that the outer cell walls 
collapse during deposition rather than decompose.  The observations in this study 
indicate that the cell walls collapse rather than decompose and are subsequently 
incorporated into the thick crust plaque.  A hypothetical model of iron plaque 
development on the roots of northern wild rice is presented in Figure 2.10, adapted from 
the models presented by Chen et al. (1980b).  This hypothetical model is supported by the 
findings of Crowder and St.-Cyr (1991) who stated that “plaque may be deposited on top 
of the epidermis or the outer cell wall may collapse inwards, allowing plaque to either 
remain on top or form a cast of the cell if the cell wall breaks”.

roots.  A. Modification of “Fig. 7: Hypothetical model for Fe coating development” 
presented by Chen et al. 1980b. Model starts with undamaged epidermal cells in cross 
section and shows progression over time.  Iron hydroxide is deposited on and within the 
epidermis cells, and as time advances the plaque thickens and cell walls collapse, 
becoming incorporated into the plaque. B. x900, sample with crust plaque showing solid 
cell cast with cell wall remnant incorporated into plaque, indicated by box (Lake 
Tamblyn). C. x600, sample with crust plaque and collapsed outermost cell walls (Lower 
Steep Rock Lake). 
 
Iron penetration into the root cells was found to be comparable to the observations of 
Green and Etherington (1977) who found that iron deposits extended inwards from the 
root surface of O. sativa to the cells of the cortex, but were not detected in the tissues of 
the stele.  The findings of Taylor et al. (1984) on T. latifolia also support this observation, 
however iron was not found to penetrate beyond the epidermal cells of P. australis by 
Batty et al. (2002), or Spartina alterniflora Loisel. by Mendelssohn and Postek (1982).  
 70 
This variable depth of iron deposition may be attributed to site and species-dependent 
variables such as rhizosphere oxidation potential, root anatomy and iron-pool availability. 
2.4.2.5 Plaque Anomalies 
The observation of rounded grooves in the plaque surface was unexpected, as previous 
reports on iron root plaques have not reported this phenomenon.  Based on the diameter 
and consistent shape of the grooves, as well as their tendency to occur within small 
concentrated areas, it is plausible to reason that they were caused by bacteria.  No 
microbes were observed within the grooves, though they may have been removed during 
the sample preparation process. 
The relationship between bacteria and iron root plaque is well-documented, with studies 
focusing on the contribution of iron-oxidizing and iron-reducing bacteria to the formation 
and reduction of plaque (St-Cyr et al. 1993; Mendelssohn et al. 1995; Neubauer et al. 
2002; Weiss et al. 2003; Chen et al. 2008).  One potential hypothesis for groove 
generation is that iron-reducing bacteria moved slowly across the plaque surface reducing 
(“consuming”) portions of the ferric hydroxide, thus generating the observed grooves 
(Edwards et al. 2001; Valdés et al. 2008).  This hypothesis assumes anaerobic conditions, 
perhaps in localized areas of the rhizosphere where plaque was substantially dense to 
impede oxidation by the root.  Several studies on corrosion have collected SEM images 
of etch pits on the surface of iron-containing minerals (such as iron silicates), but the 
majority of pits in these studies are shallow, cell-sized and bacillus-shaped, only 
occasionally generating elongated pits (Edwards et al. 2001; Buss et al. 2007; Xu et al. 
2008).  The grooves observed in this study might differ in appearance due to differences 
in the structural stability of iron root plaque versus ferric-iron containing minerals. 
 71 
2.4.3 Conclusion 
Substantial iron root plaques form on northern wild rice in a variety of surface water and 
sediment chemistries.  Iron plaques observed on the roots ranged structurally from thin to 
crust plaques (<1 µm to 14 µm thick) and were composed mainly of Fe, O, Al and K, 
however P was not found to be included in the plaques.  Iron plaque was found within 
and on root epidermal cells, and occasionally filled epidermal cells and penetrated into 
the root cortex.  Grooves observed in the plaque surface were hypothesized to be 
associated with iron-reducing bacteria.

SUMMARY AND GENERAL CONCLUSIONS 
The causes of cultural eutrophication in water bodies are multi-faceted and multi-
generational, presenting an ever increasing need for effective and sustainable solutions.  
A reduction in external nutrient sources remains the most viable solution for attaining 
long-term eutrophication reduction (Søndergaard and Jeppesen 2007), however strategies 
to reduce internal P loading within water bodies are also required to achieve a sustainable 
relief from the eutrophic state (Carpenter et al. 1998).  The selection of appropriate P 
remediation strategies is specific to each water body (Reddy et al. 1999), with 
phytoremediation presenting a cost-effective strategy to improve water body nutrient 
retention and removal (Williams 2002). 
This thesis examined the potential for northern wild rice (Z. palustris) to be used as a 
phytoremediation species in eutrophic wetlands.  An investigation into the root-sediment 
interactions of this species was undertaken to determine how wild rice affects water and 
sediment pore water chemistry.  Northern wild rice growth was found to alter sediment 
pore water chemistry, contributing directly to nutrient retention during the growing 
season through nutrient assimilation in its tissues, and indirectly by decreasing pore water 
pH and increasing the availability of pore water Fe and Mn for P adsorption.  Iron 
plaques observed on the roots of wild rice were thought to potentially further contribute 
to P retention through P adsorption.  Northern wild rice was found to form substantial 
iron root plaques in a variety of surface water and sediment chemistries.  The plaques 
were composed mainly of Fe, O, Al and K, with no P concentrations detected.  The 
presence of iron root plaques may have influenced the bioavailability of P in the 
rhizosphere (Liang et al. 2006; Xu et al. 2009), however this study did not examine this 
 73 
potential relationship.  It was suggested that harvesting northern wild rice vegetation 
(including the economically viable seed) at the end of the growing season could present a 
method for permanent nutrient removal in eutrophic water bodies. 
With proper harvesting and management techniques, northern wild rice (Z. palustris) 
grown in eutrophic water bodies could contribute to nutrient reduction strategies and 
present a viable phytoremediation species for nutrient removal efforts.  This remediation 
strategy is most appropriately employed within the historic range of northern wild rice to 
contribute to restoration efforts.  More research is needed into the harvesting and 
management techniques required for an entire-plant harvest (i.e. harvest technique, 
season and economic viability) and to determine genetically viable and vigorous strains 
of northern wild rice to maximize plant nutrient uptake (by increasing size and growth 
rate) and endurance in various habitats.
