Table 1 The differences in soil properties between slope and valley. BD, SOC, TN, TP, NH4+, NO3−, Ca and Mg are bulk density, soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, nitrate, ammonium, calcium and magnesium, respectively. Values represent means with standard errors in the parentheses. Different letters denote the significant difference between valley and slope
