  1. Laboratory samples were obtained for sieved soil samples from Organic (O) horizon (0–5 cm) and Topsoil (A) horizon. Field samples were obtained in the field with a dynamic chamber placed above uncover soil surface. RI stands for retention index. The numbers inside the brackets indicate the standard deviation of the % contribution obtained from each sample
