Fig. 1. Soil organic carbon (SOC) and organic nitrogen (SON) concentrations at the 0- to 5-cm and 5- to 15-cm soil depths. CT and NT refer to conventional and no-tillage management. SWS, WS, and soybean denote sorghum/wheat/soybean, wheat/soybean, and continuous soybean sequences, respectively. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.

Fig. 2. The percentages of aggregate-size fractions of whole soil as influenced by tillage and cropping sequences at the 0- to 5-cm and 5- to 15-cm soil depths. CT and NT refer to conventional and no-tillage management. SWS, WS, and soybean denote sorghum/wheat/soybean, wheat/soybean, and continuous soybean sequences, respectively. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.

Fig. 3. Sand-free soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations of four aggregate-size fractions at the 0- to 5-cm and 5- to 15-cm soil depths. CT and NT refer to conventional and no-tillage management. SWS, WS, and soybean denote sorghum/wheat/soybean, wheat/soybean, and continuous soybean sequences, respectively. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
