Fig. 1. Cumulative loss-on-ignition through time for the same set of samples from northern Arizona ponderosa pine forest soils. Data are shown for 0- to 15-cm soils from aspen and black cinder ecosystem types (n = 3 each) at extremes of loss-on-ignition and as an overall mean consisting of three samples from each of 10 ecosystem types.
