Fig. 5. Relationship between the seasonal average water-filled pore space (SAWFPS) and organic carbon content (
) with their regression equations in the 1999, 2000, and 2001 seasons. This also illustrates the distribution of SAWFPS with respect to the lower (
) and upper (
) limits of the nonlimiting water range (NLWR) (Drury et al., 2003) in the 1999 and 2000 seasons. Because the textural data for the 2001 season were not available, the NLWR could not be calculated.
