“…Information about techniques for establishing vegetation in freshwater wetland creation and restoration projects is becoming more readily available due to attention placed on this area by wetlands regulatory legislation and the interest in using wetlands for wastewater treatment. As a result, much of the information appears in government publications (Kusler and Kentula, 1989;Kentula et al, 1992a) and in engineering-oriented how-to manuals (Hammer, 1989;Hammer, 1992). However, the methods described in those sources are primarily for emergent and mud-flat vegetation, not wet meadows.…”

They are usually located in less urbanized areas, and are managed to promote native species and/or species of special conservation interest (Hammer, 1992). Stormwater wetlands, in addition to providing hydrologic storage in urban and suburban areas, are generally constructed close to sources of lightly contaminated water, such as runoff from roads and parking lots, and are managed to improve the water quality of storm runoff (Ontario Ministry of the Environment, 2003).…”

Methylmercury (MeHg), a bioaccumulative neurotoxin, is microbially produced in anoxic wetland environments. The direct or indirect management of wetlands is pervasive, but many questions remain regarding the impact of wetland management on MeHg biogeochemistry. To address this, I investigated the extent, drivers, and consequences of MeHg production in important types of managed wetlands, as well as the response of MeHg to specific management interventions. In a field study which simulated industrial increases and legislated decreases in Firstly, I would like to thank my advisors, Carl Mitchell, Roberta Fulthorpe, and Marney Isaac, for their support, guidance, and understanding as I navigated through not only a Ph.D., but a new country, marriage and parenthood. I will always be particularly grateful for your enthusiastic support for my pursuit of my own research ideas, which was a true privilege. In addition, I would like to thank Shelley Eisner, Elaine Pick, and Jennifer Caradonna of the DPES administrative support team for their quick and helpful responses to all my administrative questions. Eventually I even reached the point of filling out expense claims without mistakes, at least once or twice! I would also like to extend a particular thank you to Planck (Haiyong) Huang for his endless patience and good nature as he demonstrated laboratory techniques, bringing a smile to even the most frustrating day with the ICP-MS. Research can be lonely, but I was so fortunate to have wonderful PhD colleagues with whom to share frustrations, ideas, and XKCD cartoons. In particular, Ingjerd Sunde Krogseth, Johnny Westgate, Nicole Ricker, Rosemary Saati, and Carlos Paulo made the ninety minute commute worth it. A big thank you also to my "science pals" near and far, especially Annett Schumacher and Zoe Goodwin for their ongoing moral support! Finally, a special thank you to my close friends Diana Cousminer and Genevieve Noyce, and their families Rachel Kahan-Noyce, Ami Ganguli, Elliott Lehtonen, and Misha Ganguli, for their company and support as we wrote up PhDs from each other's kitchen tables-a special kind of enjoyment, to work from home with people who understand what the work is about! Thank you to my parents, Dan and Linda Strickman, my sisters Leah and Rose, and my brother in law Laurence Scott-for five years of reality checks, commiseration, and advice both critical and partisan. I'd also like to thank my family by marriage, the Lombardi-Spanos, for so many great family meals and parties to take my mind off methylmercury and R! My love and gratitude go to my husband, Luciano Lombardi, who was always there for me when I needed him, in so many ways. And finally, in subject and in spirit, this thesis turned out to be for my son, Daniel, who has made it all worthwhile. x Preface Although I am the primary author of this thesis, others have made important contributions, which I outline below. Chapters 2, 4, and 5 are either published, or in review for publication, and necessarily contain some repetition of methods and bac...

“…There is still however a need for on-farm wastewater management in the Atlantic Canadian region. One of the most promising technologies for applications for small to mid-scale farms has been the use of CW systems due to their simple design and construction, operation and maintenance, and aesthetic appeal (Hammer, 1991(Hammer, , 1992Cronk, 1996;Kadlec & Knight, 1996;Smith et al, 2005aSmith et al, , 2005bSmith et al, , 2006. There has been a renewed interest in CWs due to their cost effectiveness and eco-technology.…”

Two surface flow constructed wetland systems used to treat agricultural wastewater for over a decade were evaluated for their overall on-going treatment performance and future restoration need. Many on-farm constructed wetlands used for wastewater treatment in Atlantic Canada are now beginning to reach their saturation point and are no longer performing to their full operational potential. This study is an example of the process of evaluating when these systems are no longer viable; or are no longer functioning properly for wastewater treatment and outlines the steps necessary to restore their overall treatment capacities. On-farm constructed wetland restoration has been identified as a best management practice and can be accomplished successfully when important factors such as; landscape, hydrology, function, and the long-term farming goals are considered.
