Fig. 3. Effect of season and sampler type on (a) percolation and (b) mineral N concentration at a 60-cm depth. Bars with the same letter represent means that are not significantly different at the 10% probability level according to the lsmeans procedure of SAS (SAS Institute, 1999). NGS, nongrowing season, GS, growing season.
