Table 2 Runoff (mm) and runoff coefficient (%) in grazing land (GL) and cultivated land (CL) over the three study years

From: The influence of grazing and cultivation on runoff, soil erosion, and soil nutrient export in the central highlands of Ethiopia

		Runoff			Runoff coefficient
Year	Treatments	Mean ± SD (mm)	t	p value	Mean ± SD (%)	t	p value
2007	GL	234.8 ± 9.3^a	2.37	0.077	30.01 ± 1.19^a	2.371	0.077
	CL	218.8 ± 7.1^a			27.97 ± 0.09^a
2008	GL	325.1 ± 5.4^a	5.28	0.006	27.27 ± 0.49^a	5.157	0.007
	CL	305.7 ± 3.3^b			25.70 ± 0.27^b
2009	GL	282.0 ± 7.3^a	5.82	0.004	27.57 ± 0.50^a	6.013	0.004
	CL	251.7 ± 5.3^b			24.37 ± 0.70^b
Average	GL	280.7 ± 39.6^a	1.19	0.250	28.22 ± 1.50^a	2.945	0.01
	CL	258.7 ± 38.4^a			26.03 ± 1.67^b

Columns with different letters are significantly different at 0.05 level, GL grazing land, CL cultivated land, SD standard deviation
