Fig. 2. Seasonal records of (A) mean daily air temperature () (◦C) and precipitation
(columns) (mm day−1) and (B) soil temperature measured around midday
(11:00–13:00 h) across the alternatively (Amng) and locally conventional (Lmng)
managed plots. Each point represents the soil temperature recorded at a single measurement
position. Note that in B, the soil temperature data for Amng were displaced
slightly to the left relative to those for Lmng to allow their overlapping symbols to be
seen.
