Fig. 1. The reduction of methane oxidation due to soil disturbance and ammonium nitrate fertilizer (100 kg N ha–1) in mature forests, mid-successional communities, and no-till corn (Zea mays L.) fields at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station Long-term Ecological Research (KBS LTER) site. Vertical bars are standard errors of mean (s.e., n = 3 sites x 7 sample dates). Different higher and lowercase letters represent significant differences (P < 0.05) of treatments among sites and within site, respectively.

Fig. 2. Average daily methane oxidation as affected by soil disturbance and N-fertilizer: (a) mature deciduous forests, (b) mid-successional communities, (c) no-till corn (Zea mays L.) fields, with standard error bars (n = 3 sites) per ecosystem type.

Fig. 3. Net soil CO2 fluxes as affected by soil disturbance and ammonium nitrate fertilizer (100 kg N ha–1) in mature forests, mid-successional communities, and no-till corn (Zea mays L.) fields at the KBS LTER site. Vertical bars are standard errors of mean (s.e., n = 3 sites x 7 sample dates). Different higher and lowercase letters represent significant differences (P < 0.05) for treatments among sites and among treatments within the same site, respectively.

Fig. 6. Average daily soil temperature in three W.K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) study sites: (a) mature deciduous forests, (b) mid-successional communities, (c) no-till maize fields, with standard error bars (n = 3 sites). There were no differences among experimental treatments.
