Soil VWC integrated from (a) 0 to 200 cm and (b) 200 to 1100 cm and (c) daily precipitation. Measurements were taken from August 1999 to December 2004. The shaded areas represent the periods of throughfall exclusion. The estimated VWC if the entire soil profile had dried to values equal to the θr residual soil water van Geneuchten parameters for this soil (Belk et al. 2007) is 430 and 1950 mm for the 0–200 and 200–1000 cm profiles, respectively. Black circles, control; grey circles, exclusion.
