Fig.1. Mean cumulative nitrate nitrogen (NO3N) export during 30 min of runoff, as affected by cover (means within each rain event with the same lowercase letter are not significantly different, P > 0.05; uppercase letters indicate significant differences among the combined means of all rain events; diagonal sections indicate application of cattle feces and urine).

Fig. 2. Mean cumulative nitrate nitrogen (NO3N) export during 30 min of runoff, as affected by rain event (bars with the same letter are not significantly different in the combined mean of all rain events, P > 0.05).

Fig. 3. Mean cumulative total nitrogen (TN) export during 30 min of runoff, as affected by cover (bars with the same letter are not significantly different in the combined mean of all rain events, P > 0.05; means within each rain event had the same relationships as the combined mean except in June; diagonal sections indicate application of cattle feces and urine).
