Fig. 1. Tillage and crop sequence effects on total soil organic C (045 cm), C4derived SOC (045 cm), C3derived SOC (045 cm) and relationship to estimated C return. Regression equations were omitted for relationships where parameters (slope) were not statistically significant from 0.

Fig. 2. Thirty year simulation of tillage and crop sequence effects on total soil organic C, C4derived SOC and C3derived SOC. Solid lines depict 14-yr period of study while dashed lines show continued simulations from 15 to 30 yr.
