Fig. 2. Growing-season (April–August) wind-eroded sediment catch and standard error of the mean on nonburned, autumn-burned, and spring-burned sites by year and sampling height on loamy fine sands near Woodward, OK. Burn treatment means within a sampling height and year followed by the same lowercase letter (a, b) do not differ ({alpha} = 0.05); year means within a burn treatment and sampling height followed by the same uppercase letter (X, Y) do not differ ({alpha} = 0.05).

Fig. 3. Monthly mass soil water content and standard error across depths (0–15 and 15–30 cm) and burn treatments on loamy fine sands near Woodward, OK. The dormant season (December–April) includes autumn-burned and nonburned sites and the growing season (May–August) includes autumn-burned, spring-burned, and nonburned sites. Means followed by the same letter within a season do not differ ({alpha} = 0.05).

Fig. 4. Monthly soil temperature and standard error of the mean at 7.5- and 22.5-cm depths across burn treatments on loamy fine sands near Woodward, OK. The dormant season (December–April) includes autumn-burned and nonburned sites and the growing season (May–August) includes autumn-burned, spring-burned, and nonburned sites. Sampling month means within a sampling depth and a season followed by the same lowercase letter (a, b) do not differ ({alpha} = 0.05); sampling depth means within a sampling month and season followed by the same uppercase (X, Y) letter do not differ ({alpha} = 0.05).
