Horizontal cross sections (derived from X-ray computed tomography) of Manitou Experimental Forest soil. Black areas of the photographs correspond to soil pore space. The figure on the left corresponds to a depth of about 0.01 m below the soil surface from an area unaffected by the slash-pile burn. The figure on the right is also a horizontal cross section corresponding to the same depth, but was obtained from a sample of the soil beneath the slash-pile burn. The diameter of each sample is about 36 mm and each image has a pixel resolution of 18 µm.
