   FIG. G1. The effect of simulation duration on cumulative BP (left) and BPPu:Pr ratios (right) for nominal parameter values (see Table 1). These results demonstrate that the discrepancy between BP in Pulse vs. Press treatments (BPPu:Pr >1) is most likely not an artifact of the duration of our field experiment.
