Fig. 1. Cumulative C mineralization from soils with management practices of native prairie (NP), 11 yr perennial grass under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), conventional tillage followed by no-till for 28 yr (NT28), bluegrass seed production for 9 yr followed by no-till for 4 yr (BGNT4), conventional tillage followed by no-till for 4 yr (NT4), no-till reestablished for 1 yr following 10 yr no-till and 3 yr conventional tillage (NTR), and >100 yr conventional tillage (CT) at three soil depths. Vertical bars indicate the least significant difference (LSD) at P = 0.05 for interaction of weeks of incubation and cumulative C mineralization.
