Fig. 1. Ammonia volatilization rates measured during the first 44 h following treatments application in spring (experiment 1). ({blacktriangleup}) Control, (•) Untreated slurry, ({square}) Solid fraction, ({circ}) Liquid fraction. The vertical bars indicate LSD between treatments for each sampling time (P < 0.05; n = 4).

Fig. 2. Nitrous oxide (A), nitric oxide (B), carbon dioxide (C) emission rates and water filled pore space (WFPS), and soil temperature (D) in spring (experiment 1). ({blacktriangleup}) Control, (•) Untreated slurry, ({square}) Solid fraction, ({circ}) Liquid fraction, ({diamondsuit}) soil temperature at 10 cm depth, ({diamond}) WFPS (0- to 10-cm depth). The vertical bars indicate LSD between treatments for each sampling day (P < 0.05; n = 4).
