Fig. 1. Map of Ohio showing the locations of the three study sites: (1) North Appalachian Experimental Watersheds (NAEW) near Coshocton, (2) Western Agricultural Experiment Station (WAES) near South Charleston, and (3) Northwestern Agricultural Experiment Station (NWAES) near Hoytville in Ohio.

Fig. 4. Unadjusted (A, B, and C) and adjusted (D, E, and F) CI values for June through December 2004 and May 2005 for the North Appalachian Experimental Watersheds (NAEW), Western Agricultural Experiment Station (WAES), and Northwestern Agricultural Experiment Station (NWAES) in Ohio. The T0, T25, T50, T75, T100, and T200 are the six rates of corn stover at 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 200%, respectively. The error bars represent the LSD values by month.
