SOM Soil organic matter concentration, SOC soil organic carbon concentration, CEC cation exchange capacity, P phosphorus concentration, SD soil density, R resistance to penetration, SM soil moisture, T soil temperature, N nitrogen concentration, C/N carbon/nitrogen ratio, C/P carbon/phosphorus ratio, CNb coast forests dominated by N. betuloides, CNp coast forests dominated by N. pumilio, CM coast mixed forests with similar proportion of N. pumilio and N. betuloides, MNb mountain forests dominated by N. betuloides, MNp mountain mixed forests dominated by N. pumilio, MM mountain mixed forests with similar proportion of N. pumilio and N. betuloides
