I–V: Altitude. I: 699 m; II: 818 m; III: 937 m; IV: 1044 m; V: 1177 m. a: 0–5 cm surface soil; b: 5–10 cm surface soil. The same abbreviations are used below.
Different lowercases in the same column meant significant difference at p = .05 among treatments; different uppercases in the same column meant significant difference at p = .01 among treatments.
