Fig. 3. Monthly mass soil water content and standard error across depths (015 and 1530 cm) and burn treatments on loamy fine sands near Woodward, OK. The dormant season (DecemberApril) includes autumn-burned and nonburned sites and the growing season (MayAugust) includes autumn-burned, spring-burned, and nonburned sites. Means followed by the same letter within a season do not differ ( = 0.05).
