A soil organic carbon (SOC) core study site, B SOC literature study, C total nitrogen (N) core study site, D total N literature study, E bulk density (BD) core study site, F BD literature study, G clay content core study site. All parameters are presented for each soil horizon at the midpoint of the depth increment. Error bars display standard error. Exact data are provided in Supplementary Table 2.
