Notes: Values are mean ± standard deviation C stock per LULC types. Within a row, different lower and uppercase letters are significantly different at P < 0.05 among LULC types. Abbreviation: n/a – not available, BL – bushland, C1 – intensively cultivated land, C2 – moderately cultivated land, SL – shrubland, C3 – sparsely cultivated land – means that nothing was recorded
