  1. Carbon stock is shown as means (n = 3). One-way ANOVA tests were applied six successional series in WD, NWD, and Plant debris. Values followed by different lowercase letters mean significant difference among six successional series at P = 0.05 level. WD Woody debris, NWD Non-woody debris, C Carbon
