  1. Y0, Y1 and Y2 represent planting years for 0, 1 and 2 years, respectively. SOC, soil organic carbon; TN, total nitrogen; TP, total phosphorus; TK, total potassium; AN, available nitrogen; AP, available phosphorus; AK, available potassium; S_ACP, soil acid phosphatase; S_UE, soil urease; S_CAT, soil catalase. Data are mean ± SE. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).
