Effects of Nitrogen on Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Nitrate in Streams and Soil Solution of a Central Hardwood Forest

Figure 5

Coefficients of variation (CV) versus annual mean soil water N O 3 concentration from 1989 (pre-treatment year) to 2006 for WS3 (treatment) and WS4 (control). Points in graph are combinations of soil water N O 3 for A and B horizon lysimeters. Shown also are the combined means of CV and concentration (i.e., centroids) and the location of the pretreatment year (1989) for WS3 and WS4. Line represents linear correlation ( 𝑟 = 0 . 6 0 , 𝑃 < . 0 5 ) for WS3 only.
