Note: W = woodland; S = shrubland; C = cropland; U = uncultivated land; D = depth; L = land use type. Values are mean (n = 9) with standard error. Statistical Significance of the effects of land use type, depth and their interactions on soil properties based on Two-way ANOVA (NS = not significant; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; numbers are F-values).
