Fig. 4. Specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) and specific trihalomethane formation potential (STHMFP) of organic carbon fractions extracted with H2O and NaOH from three soils. Dot lines are averages. The values between dotlines are percentage difference and p values from the paired t tests. Error bars represent one standard deviation.
