  1. OM (organic matter) was measured by potassium dichromate-volumetric method (dilution heating method); TN (total nitrogen) and TP (total phosphorus) were determined by digestion with concentrated sulphuri-perchloric acid and measured using an AutoAnalyzer 3 (Seal, Germany); AH-N (alkaline hydrolyzable nitrogen) was quantified by conductometric titration; available P (phosphorus) was measured by molybdenum antimony anti colorimetry; soil pH was measured using a standard pH meter with a soil/water ratio of 1/2.5. Five soil samples were collected in 0–20 cm soil layer at each site
