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.
