View larger version (32K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1 Summary of experimental design showing all mesocosms incubated at each site. Mesocosm types indicate the site of origin and cover type. Four replicates of each mesocosm type are shown

View larger version (41K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2 Seasonal pattern of soil moisture for the three PJ mesocosm types incubated at each of the three incubation sites (DS, desert scrub; PJ, pinyon–juniper; PP, ponderosa pine). Values are the average of four replicate measurements (±95% confidence intervals)

View larger version (39K): [in a new window]   Fig. 4 Average soil respiration (±95% confidence intervals) for six mesocosm types at the desert scrub (DS), pinyon–juniper woodland (PJ), and ponderosa pine forest (PP) Sites. Soil respiration values are normalized per unit C in each mesocosm (including soil, litter, and duff). Names of mesocosms indicate the site of origin and cover type (interspace [i], juniper canopy [j], pinyon canopy [p], or ponderosa canopy [pp])
