Figure 2

Litter water content in (A) new litter (NL) and (B) old litter (OL) either in the absence: 0 t ha−1 (C0) or presence: 5 t ha−1 (C5) and 10 t ha−1 (C10) of biochar. Symbols show means and bars indicate standard errors (n = 9). The solid line represents the theoretical 1:1 line where the litter water content with and without biochar is equal. Asterisks indicate significance of differences from the solid line: *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
