Notes: Each column represents an OLS model using one of the vegetation recovery parameters as a dependent variable and soil C, N, P and K cycles as independent variables. The coefficients of C, N and K cycles are presented, and significant values are in bold. ***P_t < 0.001; **P_t < 0.01; *P_t < 0.05. P_t denotes p value of the t-test for an individual regression coefficient. REC denotes the general index of vegetation recovery. The other abbreviations are as presented in Table 1.
