SOC, Soil organic C; POM-C, particulate organic matter C; PMN, potentially mineralizable N; FDA, enzymatic activity; BD, bulk density; WFPS, water-filled pore space; WSA, percentage of water-stable macro-aggregates; RLD, Root length diameter
a With the exception of SOC, which was measured on samples collected in Fall of 2009, and RLD, which was measured on soils collected in summer 2009
b "NA" signifies a term not included in the model.
c "D" signifies a term dropped from the model with a p-value >0.35 for class variables and >0.05 for the covariate.
