• Linkages of plant and soil C:N:P stoichiometry and their relationships to forest growth in subtropical plantations (2015, background): “A possible explanation for this decline is that the rate of C decomposition in soil may have exceeded the rate of C input from litter and rhizodeposition (Vesterdal et al. 2002).”
• Biochar in bioenergy cropping systems: impacts on soil faunal communities and linked ecosystem processes (2013, background): “, 1998) and accumulation of soil organic carbon under SRC crops (Jug et al., 1999; Vesterdal et al., 2002).”
• Intensive monitoring of forest ecosystems in Europe: 1. Objectives, set-up and evaluation strategy (2003, result): “The conclusion that net sequestration potential of the below ground carbon in the soil, which has much lower turnover times than above ground carbon, is only small in forests is also in line with field data, showing that soil C sequestration is even small after afforestation on arable fields (Vester”
• Potential allelopathic effect of Eucalyptusgrandis across a range of plantation ages (2009, unknown): “Allelopathy has been considered as an important mechanism for the environmental impact of commercial plantation on degradation of soil, and reduction of productivity and biodiversity (Vesterdal et al. 2002; Wall and Heiskanen 2003; Smith et al. 2000).”
• Land‐use conversion and changing soil carbon stocks in China's ‘Grain‐for‐Green’ Program: a synthesis (2014, background): “Thus, increasing forested land area through reforestation has become one of the major available strategies for climate change mitigation (IPCC, 2000; Vesterdal et al., 2002; Miles & Kapos, 2008; Zhang et al., 2010; Li et al., 2012), as proposed in Article 3.”
• The effect of afforestation with Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.) of sandy post-arable soils on their selected properties. II. Reaction, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus (2008, background): “These findings are in agreement with several studies of mineral soil C changes in temperate climates after forest establishment (Jug et al. 1999; Richter et al. 1999; Vesterdal et al. 2002).”
• The effect of afforestation with Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.) of sandy post-arable soils on their selected properties. I. Physical and sorptive properties (2008, background): “This land use change brings about some changes in most of the soil properties: organic matter, pH, content of nitrogen and other elements, porosity, bulk density and biological activity (Brożek 1993; Messing et al. 1997; Jug et al. 1999; Perrin et al. 2000; Post and Kwon 2000; Romanya et al. 2000; P”
