Fig. 2. Soil CO2 emissions based on NaOH traps for the three sampling blocks. Soil temperature was taken at 10 cm at Jornada Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) weather station. Rainfall is the accumulated amounts between sampling dates (weekly from July to September and biweekly October to May). Soil temperature and rainfall share the same scale on the graph. Means with ** are different at
= 0.05. Means with * are different at
= 0.20. Arrows pointing up signify times when exhumed petrocalcic horizon soils (EPHS) is higher than at least one of the other two soil types. Arrows pointing down signify times when EPHS is lower than at least one of the other two soil types.
