note = "Funding Information: The landowners that agreed to let us sample their fields and provide farm management history data are kindly acknowledged for their participation. We are also grateful for the technical and field assistance of Ranee Pararajasingham, Michael Main, Peter Smith, Joel Aitken, Ismena Bystron, and Siobhan Dunets. We are also grateful to M. Stocki (University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK) for the mass spectroscopy analysis and to Dr. A. Oberson for advice with the 15N natural abundance method. This project was funded by and supported by an NSERC CGS Doctoral Scholarship, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Canada Research Chairs program and the Swiss National Science Foundation. Some analyses were carried out at the Eschikon Research Station of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, ETH Zurich, and the Group of Plant Nutrition is acknowledged for hosting Dr. Schneider as a visiting researcher and for the use of their facilities. An NSERC Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement allowed for the study abroad opportunity. The authors wish to thank Dr. Chantal Hamel, Dr. Ivan O{\textquoteright}Halloran, and two anonymous reviewers for their valuable editorial comments.
