NH4–N (top), NO3–N (middle), and NH4–N + NO3–N (bottom). n = 107 for the manured soil. n = 6 for the control soils. Error bars are the SEM. The least significant difference (LSD) according to a t test is shown.

Acetylene added (top graph), no acetylene added (bottom graph). n = 107 for the manured soil. n = 6 for the control soils. Error bars are the SEM. The least significant difference (LSD) according to a t test is shown.
