Annotation: * means exceeding national Grade 1 soil standards; # all the screened values were selected for non-paddy fields and the minimum value at the lowest pH; a reference (AEPA, 1995); b reference (Environment, 2018). Values were highlight with bold, which means higher than the standards instead of representing a statistical difference
