Texture was determined according to the USDA referential. Corg: organic carbon content; N: total nitrogen content; P: available phosphorous; K: total potassium content. *, **, ***: significant differences between Land Use type for edaphic parameters: P<0.05; P<0.01; P<0.001; respectively (Kruskal-Wallis non parametric test). BD: below the detection threshold.
