Fig. 1. The proportion of soil lost as clay (<2 µm) plotted against total soil loss for the 47 events from 1988 to 1994 at the Woburn Erosion Reference Experiment. The dotted line gives the percentage of clay in the parent soil

Fig. 5. Percent of total P loss for each event (1988–1994) plotted against percent of the total soil loss for Plot 7 (up and down slope, minimal tillage) of the Woburn Erosion Reference Experiment (1988–1994)

Fig. 7. Relationship between P concentrations and (A) peak discharge and (B) flow duration for plot events with automatic discharge records at the Woburn Erosion Reference Experiment. The points inside the dotted line represent events after the harvest of sugar beet in autumn of 1992

Fig. 8. Effect of treatments on (A) the mean event sediment P loss and (B) the total sediment P loss from the Woburn Erosion Reference Experiment (1988–1994). U = cultivations up and down the slope, A = cultivations across the slope, M = minimal tillage with residues retained, and S = standard tillage with residues removed. Bars indicate one standard error

Fig. 9. Sediment P loss for events with return periods of 0.5, 1, 2, and 6 yr, for each of the plots of the Woburn Erosion Reference Experiment. U = cultivations up and down the slope, A = cultivations across the slope, M = minimal tillage with residues retained, and S = standard tillage with residues removed
