Fig. 1 Water-stable macroaggregation (>0.25 mm) and its stability (wet/dry) and mean-weight diameter of water-stable aggregates and its stability (wet/dry) as affected by stand age of grazed Kentucky-31 tall fescue and hayed Coastal bermudagrass in soil at a depth of 0 to 200 mm (Contrast 3). Error bars are LSD among all combinations of stand age and grass species

Fig. 2 Water-stable macroaggregation (>0.25 mm) and its stability (wet/dry) and mean-weight diameter of water-stable aggregates and its stability (wet/dry) as affected by stand age and harvest management of Coastal bermudagrass in soil at a depth of 0 to 20 mm (Contrast 5). Error bars are LSD among all combinations of stand age and grass management

Fig. 5 Water-stable aggregate distribution among four size classes as affected by clay content of soil at a depth of 0 to 50 mm for each of the four replications of each of the 14 management systems in Contrasts 1 to 4 . Dashed line is regression of dry-stable aggregate distribution within each size class (data points not shown). {dagger} and *** indicate significance at the 0.1 and 0.001 levels of probability, respectively
