From: The influence of a year-round tillage and residue management model on soil N fractions in a wheat-maize cropping system in central China

Figure 3

Soil particulate organic N (PON) (A), microbial biomass N (MBN) (B), and water-extractable organic N (WEON) (C) at different soil depths under the different tillage and crop residue management strategies. Error bars represent standard deviations. Different lower-case letters at the same soil depth indicate significant differences at the 5% level. ns represents no significant differences among the three treatments at the same soil depth. NT: no-tillage with straw removal for winter wheat and summer maize, NTS: no-tillage with straw mulching for winter wheat and summer maize, NPTS: no-tillage with straw mulching for summer maize and plow tillage with straw incorporation for winter wheat.
