Fig. 1. Effects of land-use change on water-stable aggregates (WSA) by soil depth in reclaimed minesoils of southeastern Ohio. Error bars represent standard error of the means. HWF = hardwood forest. For each soil depth, different capital letters indicate significant differences between sites (P < 0.05). For each site, different lower-case letters indicate significant differences between depths (P < 0.05).

Fig. 2. Effects of land-use change on mean weight diameter (MWD) by soil depth in reclaimed minesoils of southeastern Ohio. Error bars represent standard error of the means. HWF = hardwood forest. For each depth, different capital letters indicate significant differences between sites (P < 0.05). For each site, different lower-case letters indicate significant differences between the depths (P < 0.05).

Fig. 3. Effects of pasture afforestation on soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration in soil macroaggregates by depth. Error bars represent standard error of the means. HWF = hardwood forest. For each soil depth and aggregate size, different capital letters indicate significant differences between sites (P < 0.05). For each site and depth, different lower-case letters indicate significant differences between aggregate sizes (P < 0.05).

Fig. 4. Effects of land-use change on root biomass in reclaimed minesoils of southeastern Ohio. Error bars represent standard error of the means. HWF = hardwood forest. Different capital letters indicate significant differences between sites for the 0- to 50-cm depth (P < 0.05). Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences between sites for each soil depth (P < 0.05).
