^a AS: aggregates stability (%); Corg: soil organic carbon (g kg^-1); N: total Nitrogen (g k^{- 1}); WHC: water holding capacity (%); P: Available Phosphorous (mg/kg), Csol: soluble organic carbon (mg kg^-1); Cmic: microbial biomass carbon (mg C kg^-1 soil); BSR: Basal soil respiration (mg C-CO₂kg^-1 h^-1); qCO₂: BSR/Cmic. ^bSignificant at: *P<0.05, **P<0.001; ns: not significant (P>0.05). Different letters indicate significant differences (P<0.05) among means.
