Appendix F. A figure showing biogeochemical responses to natural flooding of the connected floodplain.

FIG. F1. Biogeochemical responses (mean ± SE) to natural flooding of the  connected floodplain. Top Panel: Nitrate-N (NO3 -N) in surface (triangles) and  groundwater of the natural flood (open circles) and inside-levee control (filled circles) sites. Bottom Panel: Phosphate-P (PO4-P as soluble reactive phosphorus) responses  to flooding. Symbols are as described for the top panel.
