Fig. 1. Monthly rainfall and irrigation received by the mixed-species (filled circles) and St. Augustinegrass (unfilled circles) landscapes during the data collection period. Labels on the x axis represent the months of June (Jun) and December (Dec) for a given year, which correspond to the approximate onset of the wet (shaded area) and dry (unshaded area) seasons, respectively.

Fig. 2. Biweekly mean drainage, P and K concentrations in the drainage, and total P and K leaching losses during the approximately 45 mo of data collection spanning from February 1999 to April 2003 on the MS (filled circles) and SA (unfilled circles) landscape models (based on n = 4 plots). Labels on the x axis represent the months of June (Jun) and December (Dec) for a given year. Data collected during the wet season are in the shaded region and the dry season data are not shaded.

Fig. 3. Cumulative mean drainage along with P and K leached ( ± 1 s.e.) during the approximately 45 mo of data collection spanning from February 1999 to April 2003 on the MS (filled circles) and SA (unfilled circles) landscape models (based on n = 4 plots). Labels on the x axis represent the months of June (Jun) and December (Dec) for a given year. Data collected during the wet season are in the shaded region and the dry season data are not shaded.
