Data for Figures in Rainfall-induced release of microbes from manure: model development, parameter estimation, and uncertainty evaluation on small plots

• Figure 1. Ratio of cumulative released cells to cells initially present in the manure at Week 0 as they vary by time, manure type and age, microbe, and Event (i.e., season). The 95% confidence intervals of the observed median number of cells in microbial runoff are shown as the shaded area. • Figure 2. Typical observed and simulated cumulative microbial runoff for Plots A403 and C209 with individual plot calibration. • Figure 3. Observed versus simulated microbial runoff associated with the Approach 1, adjusted for cumulative results by manure type and Event. Results accounted for counts associated with field monitoring time intervals described in Section 2.1 Field method. NS=Nash-Sutcliffe modeling efficiency, EC=E. coli, En=enterococci, FC= fecal coliforms. • Figure 4. Ratio of cumulative released cells/mass to cells/mass initially present in the aged manure by time and component (e.g., microbe) for solid manure (a) and (b), and amended, dry litter, and slurry manure (c). Solid lines (Equation (11) correspond to values in Table 3 for solid manure, and dry litter and slurry manure, respectively: (a) uses individual b values, and (b) and (c) use the combined values for b. Bounds of first and third quartiles associated with the present study’s results for cattle. Bounds of first and third quartiles associated with the present study’s results for poultry and swine.

Ranges in α and β values for bovine (dairy calf, cattle, or cow) manure, as published or computed from the literature: (1) Bradford & Schijven (2002), (2) Schijven et al. (2004), (3) Guber et al. (2013), (4) Equation (9), (5) Blaustein et al. (2015), and (6) estimated in the present study (PEST and bootstrap).
