Total dissolved nitrogen (a) and dissolved organic carbon (b) in soil water extracts over the course of the two sampling years (squares, controls; circles, girdled plots; triangles, fertilized plots; dotted lines connect control values to show the seasonal trend). All data are plotted on the actual sampling date; ticks are for the 15th day of each month. Error bars indicate 1 SE (n = 6).
