    Figure 2.

    Soil volumetric water content at three depths in unpaved (control) soils. Each data point represents the mean value of five probes (in five replicate plots). The region between the dotted lines represents the least-limiting water range between the field capacity and the permanent wilting point.

    Figure 5.

    Evaluation of soil aeration. The mean anaerobic score (n = 5) for all treatments stratified by depth beneath the soil surface. Greater anaerobic score corresponds to decreased soil oxygen. Control plots exhibit greater aeration than soil beneath pavement.
