Significance

** Significant correlation at layer 0.01 (double-tailed); * The correlation was significant at 0.05 layers (double-tailed); ‘SOM’ represents soil organic carbon concentration; ‘Clay’ represents the content of soil clay particles; ‘Silt’ represents the content of soil particles; ‘Ele’ represents the altitude; ‘pH’ represents pH of soil.
