View larger version (29K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2. Study-period precipitation (2000–2001) versus long-term average precipitation (1925–2001). Historical precipitation error bars represent one standard deviation with 76 yr of data. Error bars for 2000–2001 data represent one standard deviation of 12 rain gauges. June 2000 represents mean precipitation and standard deviation of three rain gauges.

Pre-slash treatment (1996) ground cover within the control and treatment watersheds as compared to post-slash treatment ground cover for each microwatershed during the study period (2000 and 2001). Ground cover includes slash and vegetation in intercanopy areas.
