Fig. 1. Relationship between characteristic rupture energy,
, and the relative water content (w/w0) for (a) Bygholm I soil, (b) Bygholm II soil, and (c) Maury soil Block 2 aggregates. Lines correspond to the fitted power law relationships summarized in Table 2. PAC = compacted treatment; REF = reference treatment; MP-N1 = moldboard plowing and 0 kg N ha1 yr1 treatment; MP-N4 = moldboard plowing and 336 kg N ha1 yr1 treatment; NT-N1 = no-tillage and 0 kg N ha1 yr1 treatment; NT-N4 = no-tillage and 336 kg N ha1 yr1 treatment.
