Table 2. Effect of LUSs on TOC (Mg ha⁻¹) at different depths.

Depth/Land use	Depth-1	Depth-2	Depth-3	Factor mean
Forest	64.32 ± 0.63	55.66 ± 0.81	44.54 ± 0.93	54.84a
Pasture	59.33 ± 0.34	52.58 ± 0.52	42.14 ± 0.57	51.35b
Apple	48.24 ± 0.21	39.97 ± 0.10	31.00 ± 0.10	39.73c
Saffron	41.28 ± 0.36	30.62 ± 0.33	21.73 ± 0.48	31.21d
Paddy-Oil seed	36.12 ± 0.22	27.48 ± 0.28	18.90 ± 0.16	27.50e
Factor Mean	49.85a	41.26b	31.66c
C.D (p < 0.05)	Land Use = 0.79	Depth = 0.61	Land use × Depth = 1.37

Notes.

Depth-1 = 0–30 cm Depth-2 = 30–60 cm Depth-3 = 60–90 cm

Mean values possessing different letters are significantly different at probability level of α 0.05.
