Fig. 5. Comparison of successive Cr oxidation tests on field-moist and air-dried samples of the Lordstown-II and Denu soils (all results for the Denu soil are multiplied by 10). Samples were dried 1 wk and the water content was 3.7% for the Lordstown-II and 0.9% for the Denu. Error bars represent the SE
