Fig. 1. Experiment 1 mean soil:water pH (1:1) (pHw) values (soil pH of 1:1 H2O:soil suspension) at 0 to 5 or 5 to 10 cm soil depths as affected by CaCO3 application rate. Predicted linear response to application rate is shown for the 0 to 5 cm (solid) or 5 to 10 cm (dashed) soil depths. Each symbol represents the mean of three repeated measures (taken 6, 12, or 23 mo after treatment).

Fig. 2. Experiment 2 mean 0 to 6 cm soil depth (A) pHw values (soil pH of 1:1 H2O:soil suspension) and (B) pHKCl values (soil pH of 1:1 1 M KCl:soil suspension), or 6 to 12 cm soil depth (C) pHw, and (D) pHKCl values by CaCO3 application rate and antecedent cultivation procedure; 2 yr following treatment. For each graph pane (A–D), significant differences do not exist between means having overlapping error bars (Fisher's least significant difference, = 0.05).
