Fig. 1. Soil N fractions expressed on a volume basis at (a) 05 cm and (b) 2025 cm across the wetland-ecotone-upland transect at Ichauway. Plant-available NH+4 and NO-3 refers to 2M KCl extraction fraction.

Fig. 3. (a) Plant-available (KCl-extractable) NO3-N and (b) organic N across the wetland-ecotone-upland transect at Ichauway. Means at transect points within the same depth followed by the same letter are not significantly different (P < 0.05) according to the Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsh multiple range test.

Fig. 4. Phosphorus fractions across the wetland-ecotone-upland transect at Ichauway. (a) Labile (NaHCO3extractable) organic P, (b) humic acid-bound organic P, (c) total Fe- and Al-bound inorganic P and (d) total P. Means at transect points within the same depth followed by the same letter are not significantly different (P < 0.05) the Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsh multiple range test.

Fig. 5. (a) Soil C:N, (b) plant-available N:P and (c) total N:P across the wetland-ecotone-upland transect at Ichauway. Plant-available N:P is the ratio of KCl-extractable NH4-N +NO3-N/bicarbonate extractactable inorganic P. Means at transect points within the same depth followed by the same letter are not significantly different (P < 0.05) the Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsh multiple range test.
