The values of various soil variables were determined to characterize each site(Table 1).Three samples were taken from the top 30 cm of the soil profile at intervals of 10 cm for each land use type and analyzed to determine the texture using the hydrometric method(Sheldrick and Wang,1993)and the average of the particle-size distributions were used to characterize the site.Undisturbed soil samples were taken to a depth of 30 cm at 10-cm intervals using a core sampler with a volume of 100 cm3 to determine the soil bulk density to determine the bulk density.The samples were then oven-dried at 105°C for 24 h and weighed.The bulk density was determined by dividing the weight of the oven-dried soil samples by the volume of the soil core.Soil penetration resistance(SPR (k Pa)) was measured by using a hand-operated soil cone penetrometer(Hand penetrometer,Eijkelkamp Company,the Netherlands)with a cone(2-cm2 base size)and a driving shaft graduated at 5-cm intervals.For each site,we calculated the SPR as the average of30 observations.
