Before statistical data analysis, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (p = 0.05) was performed on the experimental data and the normality of the data was judged. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences in soil properties between different vegetation types and soil depths. When the ANOVA results were significant according to the F value (p < 0.05), Duncan’s test was performed to compare the mean differences of soil variables. All sample mean values and standard errors in this study were processed and analyzed by Microsoft Excel 2010 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, United States) and IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, United States), and the data results were plotted using Origin 2021 (Originlab Corporation, Northampton, MA, United States).
