All means of SOC, SON and SOM are significantly different between the groups. The lowest mean values of these three variables were observed for group
0.1–3 and the highest for group 36–56. The differences for DON and CEC were significantly different between the groups 0.1–3; 3.1–16 and the two other
groups, i.e. 16.1–35.9; 36–56
