Figure 4

Pre-planting soil moisture conditions. Soil moisture conditions are expressed as a percentage of soil Water Holding Capacity (WHC). Soil that was amended with compost, and un-amended controls are represented by closed and open symbols, respectively. Pre-planting moisture treatments were Wet (circle), Dry (squares) and Cycle (triangles) and described in the text. Values are means, n = 10. Standard errors were extremely small and so are not visible on the figure at this scale, and so are not included. N. B. plants were introduced into these pots on day 40, after which all pots were maintained at 75% of WHC – see text for details.
