TLDR
In this paper, the effects of short-rotation forest afforestation on the top soil of three plantations on former arable soils in southern, central and northern Germany were investigated.About:

Soil carbon stocks and land use change: a meta analysis
L. B. Guo,R. M. Gifford +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of land use changes on soil carbon stocks was reviewed and a meta-analysis of these data from 74 publications was conducted, which indicated that soil C stocks decline after land use change from pasture to plantation (−10%), native forest to plantations (−13), native forests to crop (−42), and pasture to crop (+59%), while the reverse process usually increased soil carbon and vice versa.

Change in soil carbon following afforestation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed global data on changes in soil C following afforestation, available from 43 published or unpublished studies, encompassing 204 sites, and found that most soil C was lost when softwoods, particularly Pinus radiata plantations, were established on ex-improved pastoral land in temperate regions.
Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration
Robert B. Jackson,Esteban G. Jobbágy,Roni Avissar,S. Baidya Roy,Damian Barrett,Charles W. Cook,Kathleen A. Farley,D. Le Maitre,Bruce A. McCarl,Brian C. Murray +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation.

TL;DR: This work combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation in tree plantations.

Carbon accumulation in agricultural soils after afforestation: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a review of the influence of afforestation on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks based on a meta-analysis of 33 recent publications (totaling 120 sites and 189 observations).

Organic Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Concentrations and pH in Soil Profiles as Affected by Tillage Intensity
TL;DR: Dick et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effect of various tillage intensities on the profile (0-30 cm) distribution of organic C, N, and P concentrations and pH was investigated.

The Rothamsted Long-Term Experiments: Are They Still of Use?
TL;DR: The Rothamsted long-term experiments as mentioned in this paper were originally designed to answer the N, P, K, Na, Mg, and Si needs of the field crops then grown in England.

The Impact of Nitrification on Soil Acidification and Cation Leaching in a Red Alder Ecosystem
H. Van Miegroet,Dale W. Cole +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of in· ternal nitrification on soil and soil solution acidity and on the rate of nutrient export through NO, -mediated leaching were investigated.

Fifty-year biogeochemical effects of green ash, white pine, and Norway spruce in a replicated experiment
Dan Binkley,D. W. Valentine +1 more
TL;DR: Binkley et al. as discussed by the authors examined replicated, 50-year-old plots of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh), white pine (Pinus strobus L.), and Norway spruce [ Picea abies ( L. ) Karst] that had been planted in an abandoned agricultural field.

Short-rotation plantations of balsam poplars, aspen and willows on former arable land in the Federal Republic of Germany. I. Site–growth relationships
TL;DR: The balsam poplar Muhle Larsen proved to be the most interesting species tested and seems to be well supplied with nutrients for optimal growth and does not need any fertilization or pesticide treatment for at least 10–15 years.
