Fig. 6. Results of a Chi square test of similarity between probability distributions for N2O flux measurements at the St. Denis transect for the 15 sampling dates in 2003 and 2004. Black cells indicate distributions that were not significantly different from each other at a 0.05 probability level. Data are in order of decreasing mean N2O flux.
