Forest type	pH	SOC (g.kg⁻¹)	TN (mg.kg⁻¹)	C/N
BD	5.9 ± 0.34a	60.3 ± 3.48a	4.1 ± 0.13a	14.7 ± 1.29b
LGBD	5.5 ± 0.13a	54.0 ± 3.53ab	3.5 ± 0.34b	15.6 ± 0.76ab
LG	4.6 ± 0.39b	49.9 ± 3.95b	2.8 ± 0.13c	18.1 ± 1.58a

Note: Each treatment contained three replicates. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error; lowercase letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). LG Larix gmelinii, BD Betula dahurica, LGBD mixed Larix gmelinii and Betula dahurica. SOC soil organic carbon, TN total nitrogen, C/N soil carbon to nitrogen ratio
