Table 2.

Soil bulk density, total carbon, and total N measured beneath the mulch layer (0 to 15 cm soil depth) in March 2008, one year following treatment application.

	Control and surface applied treatments		Incorporated treatments
	Mean	ANOVA P-value	Mean	ANOVA P-value
Bulk density^{^z} (Mg m⁻³)	2.23	0.85^{^y}	0.93	0.69^{^x}
Total C^{^w} (g kg⁻¹)	0.40	0.37	5.10	0.61
Total N^{^w} (g kg⁻¹)	0.02	0.14	0.20	0.87

↵^z Samples per plot (four replicate plots) for bulk density (n = 3).
↵^y Control and surface applications were analyzed separately because distribution was bimodal.
↵^x Incorporated treatments were analyzed separately because data distribution was bimodal.
↵^w n = one composite sample per plot (four replicate plots) for C and N.
