Fig. 2. Mean cumulative dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) export during 30 min of runoff as affected by rain event, averaged across sites (means within the same cover level indicated by the same letter are not significantly different, P > 0.05). The down arrow indicates application of cattle feces and urine.
