pH and percentage of the organic matter content of the soil in three research sites.

S. no.	Community forest name	pH	OM (%)
1	Saldada CF	7.6 (alkaline)	3.42 (medium)
2	Saldada CF	7.6 (alkaline)	3.20 (medium)
3	Banaskhadi CF	7.5 (neutral)	2.59 (medium)
4	Banaskhadi CF	7.5 (neutral)	2.32 (low)
5	Malayang CF	7.4 (neutral)	3.32 (medium)
6	Malayang CF	7.3 (neutral)	3.038 (medium)

pH; >IF > 7.5, “Alkaline,” IF > 6.4, “Neutral,” “Acidic.” OM: =IF > 5, “High,” IF > 2.4, “Medium,” “Low.” N : IF > 0.2, “High,” IF > 0.1, “Medium,” “Low.” P2O5 : IF > 55, “High,”>31, “Medium,” “Low.” K2O : IF > 280, “High,” IF > 110, “Medium,” “Low”). Note: soil OM was determined by the colorimetric determination of soil organic matter process.
