Fig. 1. Bimonthly measurements of (a) soil gravimetric water content, (b) soil temperature, and (c) soil CO2 efflux. Points represent means (n = 6), and error bars indicate standard error. Soil moisture and temperature measurements were taken to a 20-cm depth.

Fig. 2. Seasonal means and standard errors of the means of soil profile CO2 concentrations in oak woodland and vineyard soils. During the winter and spring some sites were so waterlogged as to prevent sample gas extraction. As a result winter and spring points are composed of n = 36 data points while summer and fall points are composed of n = 12 data points.

Fig. 3. Seasonal means and standard errors of the means of soil profile CO2 13C values in oak woodland and vineyard soils. During the winter and spring some sites were so waterlogged as to prevent sample gas extraction. As a result, winter and spring points are composed of n = 36 data points while summer and fall points are composed of n = 12 data points.
