| Depth/Land Use | Depth-1 | Depth-2 | Depth-3 | Factor Mean |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forest | 7.20 ± 0.38 | 4.74 ± 0.03 | 3.28 ± 0.02 | 5.07a |
| Pasture | 6.82 ± 0.32 | 4.06 ± 0.18 | 3.01 ± 0.04 | 4.62b |
| Apple | 4.62 ± 0.24 | 3.87 ± 0.04 | 2.12 ± 0.04 | 3.53c |
| Saffron | 3.66 ± 0.32 | 3.16 ± 0.16 | 2.05 ± 0.05 | 2.95d |
| Paddy-Oilseed | 2.33 ± 0.07 | 2.09 ± 0.02 | 1.86 ± 0.06 | 2.09e |
| Factor Mean | 4.92a | 3.58b | 2.46c | |
| C.D (p < 0.05) | Land Use = 0.30 | Depth = 0.23 | Land Use × Depth = 0.53 | |
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.
