Fig. 2 Effect of tillage on fluxes of CO2 from continuous wheat (Cont. W), cropped phase of a fallow–wheat rotation [F–(W)], and fallow phase of a fallow–wheat rotation [(F)–W] in 1995. Measurement dates when tillage or tillage x rotation effects were significant (P < 0.10) are denoted by "+". CT is conventional tillage; NT is no-till. Arrows indicate dates of tillage operations in the CT treatment

Fig. 3 Effect of tillage on fluxes of CO2 from continuous wheat (Cont. W), cropped phase of a fallow–wheat rotation [F–(W)], and fallow phase of a fallow–wheat rotation [(F)–W] in 1996. Measurement dates when tillage or tillage x rotation effects were significant (P < 0.10) are denoted by "+". CT is conventional tillage; NT is no-till.

Fig. 4 Fluxes of CO2 from no-till (NT) soil vs. those from conventional till (CT) soil under continuous wheat (Cont. W), cropped phase of a fallow–wheat rotation [F–(W)], and fallow phase of a fallow–wheat rotation [(F)–W] (data for 1995 and 1996 are pooled)
