Table 1.

Harvest yield, unit weight, percentage of dry matter, and plant nutrient concentrations presented as average ± standard deviation (n = 3 plots per system and year). p(system) and p(year) are p values of the two-way ANOVA with system (C, O1, O2) and year (2007 and 2008) as factors (n = 6 per system or n = 9 per year). Where p(system) <0.05, systems not sharing a common superscript row-wise are significantly different (Student’s t test, n = 3 per system) for that year

Nutrient concentrations are presented as weight−% (g/100 g DM). Some of these data have partially been presented earlier: Yield data have been published in the supporting material of [21] as averaged over two instead of three field plots and in [18] as averages over 3 years. DM (%), N (%), and S (%) have been presented in [18] as averages over 3 years
