Fig. 2. Measured and cumulative drainage since previous sampling and precipitation for 3 mo before initial litter application and for two annual periods (Year 1: May 2003 through April 2004 and Year 2: May 2004 through April 2005) following each litter application. Litter was applied on day of year 120 and 127 in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Thirty-year normal precipitation data was obtained from NOAA (2002). Vertical bars represent standard error from two replications per treatment mean.

Fig. 3. Measured leachate pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and redox potential for 3 mo before initial litter application and for two annual periods (Year 1: May 2003 through April 2004 and Year 2: May 2004 through April 2005) following each litter application. Litter was applied on day of year 120 and 127 of 2003 and 2004, respectively. Vertical bars represent standard error from two replications per treatment mean.
