Data on the C sink capacity of such plantations will provide valuable information for designing improved management strategies for afforestation programmes aimed at mitigating CO2 emissions. The study was carried in the temperate forest of southern Europe, one of the most productive timber production systems in Europe. The study, designed to control most of the variability at regional level, involved a network of 120 paired plots (former pasture land-new plantations of different ages) established to construct three well-replicated chronosequences of the most common tree species in humid temperate systems. The mean rates of C sequestration (biomass and soil) estimated throughout the rotation ranged between 8.7 and 14.6\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u2009ha\u22121\u00a0year\u22121 (Eucalyptus nitens>Eucalyptus globulus>Pinus radiata), and the contribution of the soil (forest floor plus mineral soil) ranged from 8 to 18% (Eucalyptus nitens>Pinus radiata>Eucalyptus globulus). The humid temperate climate and the sandy loam texture of the soils favoured large losses of SOC from the uppermost mineral soils during the 10\u00a0year after afforestation. The higher loss of SOC in the Pinus radiata soil (26% of initial SOC) than in the Eucalyptus soil (19.45% of initial SOC) was attributed to the lower transfer of organic C to the mineral soil, as a result of the lower litter decomposition rate and the lower belowground litter input from associated vegetation. The rapid development of tree biomass favoured the subsequent C sequestration in biomass and soils. The C sink capacity of forest plantations can be maximized by elongating the rotation length and adopting suitable management strategies for each species. This is especially important in intensive forest plantations in which the high intensity of harvesting may prevent accumulation of SOC in the long term.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "Eucalyptus", "Pinus radiata", "Tree biomass", "Soil organic matter", "Afforestation", "13.

The CDM allows for a small percentage of emission reduction credits to come from afforestation and reforestation (CDM-AR) projects. We conducted a global analysis of land suitability for CDM-AR carbon \u2018sink\u2019 projects and identified large amounts of land (749 Mha) as biophysically suitable and meeting the CDM-AR eligibility criteria. Forty-six percent of all the suitable areas globallywere foundin SouthAmerica and27% in Sub-SaharanAfrica. In Asia,despite thelargerland mass,relativelyless landwasavailable. In South America and Sub-Saharan Africa the majority of the suitable land was shrubland/grassland or savanna. In Asia the majority of the land was low-intensity agriculture. The sociologic and ecological analyses showed that large amounts of suitable land exhibited relatively low population densities. Many of the most marginal areas were eliminated due to high aridity, which resulted in a generally Gaussian distribution of land productivity classes. If the cap on CDM-AR were raised to compensate for a substantially greater offset of carbon emission through sink projects, this study suggests that it will be increasingly important to consider implications on local to regional food security and local community livelihoods. # 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Three decades of afforestation with mixed species had not led to substantial changes in C concentration or content of the soil.

They presuppose the existence and integration of technical capacity to enhance C storage in production systems, the capacity for resource users to adopt and maintain land resource practices that sequester C, the ability for dealers or brokers to monitor C stocks at a landscape level, the institutional capacity to aggregate C credits, the financial mechanisms for incentive payments to reach farmers, and transparent and accountable governance structures that can ensure equitable distribution of benefits. Hence, while C payments may contribute to increasing rural incomes and promoting productivity enhancement practices, they may also expose resource users to additional social tensions and institutional risks.", "keywords": ["Carbon sequestration", "Poverty reduction", "Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)", "01 natural sciences", "12.

Subs p. nigra  (Black Pine) and  Cedrus libani  A. Rich (Lebanon cedar) on bare land in the semi-arid Nigde Akkaya dam watershed for erosion control and green belt creation. Soil samples were collected from three land use types (Black Pine planted, Lebanon cedar planted area and bare land) at two soil depths (0\u201310\u00a0cm and 10\u201320\u00a0cm) and replicated three times. Among the soil properties substantially affected by the change in land cover are soil organic carbon, bulk density, particle density, water holding capacity and total porosity. Generally, soil organic carbon was observed to increase after afforestation. Soil organic carbon (SOC) values were 1.09% and 1.13% in Black Pine and the Cedar area, respectively. These values were significantly higher than the values for the bare land soils (0.54%). For all types of land use, the amount of SOC in the soils decreased with depth. The amount of carbon sequestrated in Black Pine, Cedar and bare land sites at depths of 0\u201310\u00a0cm and 10\u201320\u00a0cm were 18.20\u00a0t/ha and 16.33\u00a0t/ha, 23.54\u00a0t/ha and 12.38\u00a0t/ha and 11.2\u00a0t/ha and 7.22\u00a0t/ha, respectively.

Afforestation efforts led to an increase in water holding capacity (WHC) of the soil. Total porosity (TP) of the 0\u201310\u00a0cm layer soils increased after afforestation.

A Possible Explanation Based On Nitrogen Dynamics", "description": "Abstract   When trees are planted onto former pastures, soil carbon stocks typically either remain constant or decrease, with decreases more common in regions with higher rainfall. We conducted a modelling analysis to assess whether those changes in soil carbon, especially the interaction with rainfall, could be understood through consideration of nitrogen balances. The study was based on simulations with the whole-system ecophysiological model CenW which allowed explicit modelling of both carbon and nitrogen pools and their fluxes through plants and soil organic matter.  We found that in a modelled coniferous forest without excess water input, total system nitrogen stocks remained similar to pre-forestation values because there were few pathways for nitrogen losses, and without biological nitrogen fixation or fertiliser inputs, gains were restricted to small inputs from atmospheric deposition. However, tree biomass and the litter layer accumulated considerable amounts of nitrogen. This accumulation of nitrogen came at the expense of depleting soil nitrogen stocks. With the change from input of grass litter that is low in lignin to forest litter with higher lignin concentration, organic-matter C:N ratios increased so that more carbon could be stored per unit of soil nitrogen which partly negated the effect of reduced nitrogen stocks. The increase in C:N ratios was initially confined to the surface litter layer because of slow transfer of material to the mineral soil. Over a period of decades, soil C:N ratios eventually increased in the soil as well.  Simulations with different amounts of precipitation showed that greater amounts of nitrogen were leached from systems where water supply exceeded the plants\u2019 requirements. Reduced nitrogen stocks then caused a subsequent reduction in soil organic carbon stocks. These simulations thus provided a consistent explanation for the observation of greater losses of soil organic carbon in high-rainfall systems after converting pastures to forests. More generally, the simulations showed that explicit modelling of the nitrogen cycle can put important constraints on possible changes in soil-carbon stocks that may occur after land-use change.", "keywords": ["land use change", "Rainfall", "Mitigation", "ecophysiology", "nitrogen cyc Afforestation", "Greenhouse", "Nitrogen", "Rain", "CenW", "Land-use change", "lignin", "Greenhouse effect", "afforestation", "carbon cycle", "Forest", "Reforestation", "Keywords: Carbon", "2.

Major benefit and cost items related to this specific measure were identified, quantified, and valued. Direct market prices and variants of indirect environmental valuation techniques (cost based and productivity change methods) were employed in valuing the benefit and cost items included in the analysis.

However, putting productive agricultural land under exclosures yields a negative NPV even under some hypothetical scenarios of 50% rise in prices of forest products and a social discount rate halved from the base rate of 8%. Sensitivity analyses indicate that the net present value is quite volatile to changes in biomass production and the social discount rate. Thus, appropriate forest management schemes have to be adopted in order to maximize sustainable biomass production.

Here, we examine changes in soil C stock following the establishment of SRF using combined short (30\uffc2\uffa0cm depth) and deep (1\uffc2\uffa0m depth) soil cores at 11 sites representing 29 transitions from agriculture to SRF. We compare the effects of tree species including 9 coniferous, 16 broadleaved and 4 Eucalyptus transitions. SRF aboveground and root biomass were also estimated in 15 of the transitions using tree mensuration data allowing assessments of changes in total ecosystem C stock. Planting coniferous SRF, compared to broadleaved and Eucalyptus SRF, resulted in greater accumulation of litter and overall increased soil C stock relative to agricultural controls. Though broadleaved SRF had no overall effect on soil C stock, it showed the most variable response suggesting species\uffe2\uff80\uff90specific effects and interactions with soil types. While Eucalyptus transitions induced a reduction in soil C stocks, this was not significant unless considered on a soil mass basis. Given the relatively young age and limited number of Eucalyptus plantations, it is not possible to say whether this reduction will persist in older stands. Combining estimates of C stocks from different ecosystem components (e.g., soil, aboveground biomass) reinforced the accumulation of C under coniferous SRF, and indicates generally positive effects of SRF on whole\uffe2\uff80\uff90ecosystem C.

In the present work, we study the soil organic carbon sequestration (SOCS) in 21 year old stands of maple (Acer velutinum Bioss.), oak (Quercus castaneifolia C.A. Mey.), and red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) in the Darab Kola region, north of Iran. Soil samples were collected at four different depths (0-10, 10-20, 20-30, and 30-40 cm), and characterized with respect to bulk density, water content, electrical conductivity, pH, texture, lime content, total organic C, total N, and earthworm density and biomass. Data showed that afforested stands significantly affected soil characteristics, also raising SOCS phenomena, with values of 163.3, 120.6, and 102.1 Mg C ha(-1) for red pine, oak and maple stands, respectively, vs. 83.0 Mg C ha(-1) for the control region. Even if the dynamics of organic matter (OM) in soil is very complex and affected by several pedo-climatic factors, a stepwise regression method indicates that SOCS values in the studied area could be predicted using the following parameters, i.e., sand, clay, lime, and total N contents, and C/N ratio. In particular, although the chemical and physical stabilization capacity of organic C by soil is believed to be mainly governed by clay content, regression analysis showed a positive correlation between SOCS and sand (R = 0.86(**)), whereas a negative correlation with clay (R = -0.77(**)) was observed, thus suggesting that most of this organic C occurs as particulate OM instead of mineral-associated OM. Although the proposed models do not take into account possible changes due to natural and anthropogenic processes, they represent a simple way that could be used to evaluate and/or monitor the potential of each forest plantation in immobilizing organic C in soil (thus reducing atmospheric C concentration), as well as to select more appropriate species during forestation plan management at least in the north of Iran.", "keywords": ["2.

We examined how microbial functional genes and biogeochemical pools responded to the altered chemical inputs accompanying land use change. We examined paired native grasslands and adjacentEucalyptusplantations (previously grassland) in Uruguay, a region that lacked forests before European settlement. Along with measurements of soil carbon, nitrogen, and bacterial diversity, we analyzed functional genes using the GeoChip 2.0 microarray, which simultaneously quantified several thousand genes involved in soil carbon and nitrogen cycling. Plantations and grassland differed significantly in functional gene profiles, bacterial diversity, and biogeochemical pool sizes. Most grassland profiles were similar, but plantation profiles generally differed from those of grasslands due to differences in functional gene abundance across diverse taxa. Eucalypts decreased ammonification and N fixation functional genes by 11% and 7.9% (P&lt; 0.01), which correlated with decreased microbial biomass N and more NH4+in plantation soils. Chitinase abundance decreased 7.8% in plantations compared to levels in grassland (P= 0.017), and C polymer-degrading genes decreased by 1.5% overall (P&lt; 0.05), which likely contributed to 54% (P&lt; 0.05) more C in undecomposed extractable soil pools and 27% less microbial C (P&lt; 0.01) in plantation soils. In general, afforestation altered the abundance of many microbial functional genes, corresponding with changes in soil biogeochemistry, in part through altered abundance of overall functional gene types rather than simply through changes in specific taxa. Such changes in microbial functional genes correspond with altered C and N storage and have implications for long-term productivity in these soils.</p>", "keywords": ["Nitrogen", "Argentina", "Sequence Homology", "soil science", "Microbiology", "333", "Trees", "Soil", "afforestation", "Cluster Analysis", "Biology", "Soil Microbiology", "Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis", "2.

The aims were to compare ash types (wood, peat and coal ash), study the effects of ash treatment (pelletization), compare ash fertilization with commercial fertilizers, and to study the interaction between ash fertilization and weed control. Foliar samples were collected 1\u00e2\u0080\u00933 years and 7\u00e2\u0080\u00938 years after fertilization. In the unfertilized plots, the foliar nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were fairly high, while those of potassium were low in all the experiments. The boron levels were low in three out of the four experiments. Application of either loose or pelletized wood ash, as well as of commercial fertilizers, increased foliar potassium and boron concentrations, and thus successfully remedied the existing nutrient imbalances and deficiencies. Since phosphorus deficiencies are rarely encountered on field afforestation sites, poor-quality wood ash with low phosphorus concentration could be used. Peat ash containing phosphorus, but only small amounts of potassium and boron, was not found to be very suitable for soil amelioration in connection with field afforestation. Coal ash, containing only small amounts of potassium, was a good source of boron for pine even when used in small amounts, and thus it can be used in cases where boron deficiencies alone are encountered. Wood ash significantly increased the height growth of Scots pines in two of the experiments, but peat ash and coal ash had no statistically significant effect. Wood ash increased the number of healthy seedlings. Vegetation control decreased seedling mortality by 24%, increased the growth of pine and decreased the proportion of trees damaged by elk and by deciduous trees.</ja:p>", "keywords": ["peat soils", "m\u00e4nty", "peat ash", "herbisidit", "puun tuhka", "630*2", "01 natural sciences", "630", "herbicides", "hiilen tuhka", "afforestation", "coal ash", "vegetation control", "turvemaat", "kasvillisuuden torjunta", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "580", "2.

However, in addition to altering biomass, afforestation can have substantial effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) pools, some of which have much longer turnover times than plant biomass. An increasing body of evidence suggests that the effect of afforestation on SOC may depend on mean annual precipitation (MAP). The goal of this study was to test how labile and bulk pools of SOC and total soil nitrogen (TN) change with afforestation across a rainfall gradient of 600\uffe2\uff80\uff931500 mm in the Rio de la Plata grasslands of Argentina and Uruguay. The sites were all former grasslands planted withEucalyptusspp. Overall, we found that afforestation increased (up to 1012 kg C\uffc2\uffb7ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921\uffc2\uffb7yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921) or decreased (as much as 1294 kg C\uffc2\uffb7ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921\uffc2\uffb7yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921) SOC pools in this region and that these changes were significantly related to MAP. Drier sites gained, and wetter sites lost, SOC and TN (r2= 0.59,P= 0.003; andr2= 0.57,P= 0.004, respectively). Labile C and N in microbial biomass and extractable soil pools followed similar patterns to bulk SOC and TN. Interestingly, drier sites gained more SOC and TN as plantations aged, while losses reversed as plantations aged in wet sites, suggesting that plantation age in addition to precipitation is a critical driver of changes in soil organic matter with afforestation. This new evidence implies that longer intervals between harvests for plantations could improve SOC storage, ameliorating the negative trends found in humid sites. Our results suggest that the value of afforestation as a carbon sequestration tool should be considered in the context of precipitation and age of the forest stand.</p>", "keywords": ["Soil nitrogen", "Time Factors", "Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecology", "Nitrogen", "Rain", "soil nitrogen", "Argentina", "Precipitation", "precipitation", "Poaceae", "333", "Trees", "Soil", "afforestation", "https://purl.org/becyt/ford/1.6", "Afforestations", "https://purl.org/becyt/ford/1", "Biology", "Forest Sciences", "Ecosystem", "2.

In the first years after forest clearing, decomposition of tree roots caused an extra input of SOC, which influenced the \uffce\uffb413C signal. Decomposition of forest C and increase of pasture C were mathematically described for several depths. A considerable influence of depth on decomposition rates was found.

However, over the last several centuries this region has experienced intense land-use conversion. The most widespread and significant land-use change is the extensive cultivation of these soils. As a result, Chernozems of the region that were some of the most naturally fertile soils in the world with thick A horizons had become, by the second half of the 19th century, weakly productive, with decreased stocks of organic matter. When not protected by plant cover, water and wind erosion degraded the open fields. The investigation of methods for rehabilitation and restoration of Chernozems resulted  in the practice of afforestation of agricultural lands (mainly by windbreak planting). Preferences of agroforestry practices were initially connected with protection of cropland from wind and water erosion, improvement of microclimate for crop growth, and providing new refugia for wild animal and plant habitats. During the last several decades, tree windbreaks have begun to be viewed as ecosystems with great potential for atmospheric carbon sequestration, which plays a positive role in climate change mitigation. For the evaluation of windbreak influence on Chernozem soils, a study was developed with three field study areas across a climatic gradient from cool and wet in the north of the region to warm and dry in the south. Windbreak age ranged from 55\uffe2\uff80\uff9357 years. At each site, soil pits were prepared within the windbreak, the adjacent crop fields of 150 years of cultivation, and nearby undisturbed grassland. Profile descriptions were completed to a depth of 1.5 m.  A linear relationship was detected between the difference in organic-rich surface layer  (A + AB horizon) thickness of soils beneath windbreaks and undisturbed grasslands and  a climate index, the hydrothermal coefficient (HTC). These results indicate that windbreaks under relatively cooler and wetter climate conditions are more favorable for organic matter accumulation in the surface soil. For the 0\uffe2\uff80\uff93100 cm layer of the Chernozems beneath windbreaks, an increase in organic C stocks comparable with undisturbed grassland soils (15\uffe2\uff80\uff9363 Mg\uffc2\uffb7ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) was detected. Significant growth of soil organic matter stocks was identified not only for the upper 30 cm, but also for the deeper layer (30\uffe2\uff80\uff93100 cm) of afforested Chernozems. These findings illustrate that, in the central part of Eastern Europe, tree windbreaks improve soil quality by enhancing soil organic matter while providing a sink for atmospheric carbon in tree biomass and soil organic matter.</p>", "keywords": ["2.

And it may have distinctly dynamic patterns at different temporal scales since it is affected by diverse abiotic and biotic factors. Increasing deposition of nitrogen from the traditional cultivation of sympodial bamboos may lead to the sequestration of carbon in vegetation and soil. And the rising temperature and water content may increase the flux of CO<sub>2</sub> from the soil, but the response of the ecosystem to simultaneous changes in all of these factors is still unknown. Meanwhile, to provide abundant supply of bamboo timber, afforestation of bamboo species such as Oxytenanthera braunii Pilger ap. Engler, Dendrocalamus brandisii Kurz and D. giganteus Munro is encouraged by the government but without scientific directions. And chemical fertilizers are usually applied into fields unscientifically and blindly in the villages of southwest China. Subsequently, what will happen to the soil structure and how to balance soil nutrient environment in the situation of chemical fertilizer abuse?In the context of climate change, the amount of nitrogen allocated to the soil is predicted to increase with the productivity of terrestrial ecosystem, and may alter soil carbon storage capacities. To provide the proof of soil respiration responding to the nitrogen input for sympodial bamboo afforestation at the beginning period, we set up four nitrogen fertilization (CO (NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>) levels in mid-high mountain of southeast China, i. e. N content of 0, 40, 80, 160 kg/hm<sup>2</sup>(expressed on N<sub>0</sub>, N<sub>40</sub>, N<sub>80</sub>, N<sub>160</sub>, respectively), using the two-year old stump of wine bamboo which were planted every five meters. The soil respiration rate is measured by using trenching method and infrared gas analyzer. The responding mechanism is discussed through analyzing the change of soil temperature at 10 cm depth (T10), as well as changes of soil water-soluble organic carbon content (WSOC) and soil water content (SW).Results showed that soil respiration rate was quite different between rainy and dry seasons. The soil respiration rate increased at the end of April or in the beginning of May when the rainy season arrived. Its wave crest arrived in July, Aug. and Sept., and then the rate decreased along with the dry season in Nov., Dec., Feb. and Mar., then the trough of soil respiration rate appeared. The variation rule of T10, WSOC and SW was similar as this way. Exponential function could be used to describe the relationship between T10 and respiration rate. Meanwhile, WSOC and SW showed a linear relationship with the respiration rate respectively, and the regression test indicted that it was significant. And the temperature sensitivity value Q10 of a whole year was 2.45 -2.78 nearby. In rainy season, Q10 decreased to 1.66 - 1.89, which indicated that the sensitivity of respiration rate responding to temperature decreased. On the contrary, Q10 ascended to 4.85 - 9.54 in dry season. The yearly data of WSOC were unstable, and the nitrogen input could not enhance T10 and SW, but N<sub>80</sub> and N<sub>160</sub> could increase WSOC relatively. The changes of SW and T10 explained 96.10%, 94.30%, 94.48% and 92.99% of the variation of soil respiration rate in the treatment of N<sub>0</sub>, N<sub>40</sub>, N<sub>80</sub> and N<sub>160</sub>, which contributed most of the information. The main factor affecting the soil respiration in rainy and dry seasons was quite different, which was SW and T10 respectively.As a consequence, the increase in ecosystem productivity may lead to an increase in carbon turnover in the soil, via an increase in the amount of biomass. But its process and mechanism involving different carbon pools are very complex, and to measure the soil respiration rate alone can not totally reflect the whole change of carbon cycle. Experiments of further control that involves different carbon pools interaction appending to the measurements of CO<sub>2</sub> emission will help to clarify the relative importance of bulk soil and micro-relationship in the prime effect.", "keywords": ["afforestation in semiarid region", "bamboo cultivation", "soil temperature", "QH301-705.5", "Agriculture (General)", "soil water content", "Biology (General)", "soil water-soluble organic carbon content", "S1-972"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Wang ShuDong, Li Weicheng, Wang Shuguang, Zhong ZheKe, Zheng Youmiao, Sheng Haiyan,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1008-9209.2012.07.262"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/%E6%B5%99%E6%B1%9F%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%A6%E5%AD%A6%E6%8A%A5.%20%E5%86%9C%E4%B8%9A%E4%B8%8E%E7%94%9F%E5%91%BD%E7%A7%91%E5%AD%A6%E7%89%88", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.3785/j.issn.1008-9209.2012.07.262", "name": "item", "description": "10.3785/j.issn.1008-9209.2012.07.262", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.3785/j.issn.1008-9209.2012.07.262"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2013-05-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5194/hess-19-4201-2015", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-13T16:22:56Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2015-10-20", "title": "Multidecadal Change In Streamflow Associated With Anthropogenic Disturbances In The Tropical Andes", "description": "<p>Abstract. Andean headwater catchments are an important source of freshwater for downstream water users. However, few long-term studies exist on the relative importance of climate change and direct anthropogenic perturbations on flow regimes in these catchments. In this paper, we assess change in streamflow based on long time series of hydrometeorological data (1974\uffe2\uff80\uff932008) and land cover reconstructions (1963\uffe2\uff80\uff932009) in the Pangor catchment (282 km2) located in the tropical Andes. Three main land cover change trajectories can be distinguished during the period 1963\uffe2\uff80\uff932009: (1) expansion of agricultural land by an area equal to 14 % of the catchment area (or 39 km2) in 46 years' time, (2) deforestation of native forests by 11 % (or \uffe2\uff88\uff9231 km2) corresponding to a mean rate of 67 ha yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921, and (3) afforestation with exotic species in recent years by about 5 % (or 15 km2). Over the time period 1963\uffe2\uff80\uff932009, about 50 % of the 64 km2 of native forests was cleared and converted to agricultural land. Given the strong temporal variability of precipitation and streamflow data related to El Ni\uffc3\uffb1o\uffe2\uff80\uff93Southern Oscillation, we use empirical mode decomposition techniques to detrend the time series. The long-term increasing trend in rainfall is remarkably different from the observed changes in streamflow, which exhibit a decreasing trend. Hence, observed changes in streamflow are not the result of long-term change in precipitation but very likely result from anthropogenic disturbances associated with land cover change.                     </p>", "keywords": ["Technology", "Period (music)", "0208 environmental biotechnology", "Urban Flooding", "Precipitation", "02 engineering and technology", "Oceanography", "Environmental technology.

These maps will help to indicate to landowners whether there is likely to be potential to establish new woodland on their land, and where there may be sensitivities that would preclude woodland creation.  The maps do not indicate that, where there is a low sensitivity to new woodland being created, that planting will be agreed by the Forestry Commission, the regulator for woodland and forestry projects in England. However, the low sensitivity areas have fewest identified constraints to address, and it should be easier to agree creating new woodland here than in other areas.   Likewise, creation of new woodland, particularly of native woodland, may be appropriate outside \u2018low sensitivity\u2019 areas, but the appropriateness of proposals in these areas will again be determined by the Forestry Commission, including through responding to the views of Natural England, Environment Agency, Historic England, the Local Authority and other stakeholders, where relevant.  The Sensitivity Maps exclude all land that is unsuitable for planting, including urban areas, existing (and assumed) woodland and habitats that are considered too wet, too rocky, and too salty to support the growth of trees. This is achieved through restricting the Sensitivity Maps to the following land covers, based on the most recent update of Landcover Map:  Acid grassland Arable and horticulture Calcareous grassland Heather Heather grassland Improved grassland Neutral grassland   The spatial datasets and individual layers of those datasets that define land as unsuitable and low, medium, or high sensitivity for woodland creation in the Full Sensitivity Map version 3.0, the Low Sensitivity Map and their variants are set out in the document here:  www.gov.uk/guidance/a-guide-to-forestry-commissions-sensitivity-maps-for-woodland-creation   Attributes:  \u2018Sensitivity\u2019 = the sensitivity to woodland creation level the land has been assigned.  \u2018Area (Hectares)\u2019 = the area in hectares of the polygon.     Lineage:  This is version 3.0 of these layers, having gone through several iterations where new data inputs were added and changes made to how these were treated as sensitivities for woodland creation. These are the first versions of the layers to be published as Open Data.", "keywords": ["afforestation", "creation", "environment", "forestry", "gb", "land-cover", "opportunity", "planting", "protected-sites", "sensitivity", "soil", "species-distribution", "wildlife-protection", "woodland"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://data-forestry.opendata.arcgis.com/"}, {"href": "http://data.europa.eu/88u/dataset/england-woodland-creation-low-sensitivity-map-v3-0-variant-3"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "england-woodland-creation-low-sensitivity-map-v3-0-variant-3", "name": "item", "description": "england-woodland-creation-low-sensitivity-map-v3-0-variant-3", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/england-woodland-creation-low-sensitivity-map-v3-0-variant-3"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"null": "date"}}, {"id": "a5034a66-c4a7-4bc6-953a-6aef78e04db6", "type": "Feature", "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[14.14, 52.52], [14.14, 52.52], [14.14, 52.52], [14.14, 52.52], [14.14, 52.52]]]}, "properties": {"rights": "Restrictions applied to assure the protection of privacy or intellectual property, and any special restrictions or limitations or warnings on using the resource or metadata.

Here we aimed to reflect on the spatial distribution of soil properties like the cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH and organic carbon (Corg) content within the area of the experimental field. The experimental field consists of two plots: one planted with birch (March 1995) and one planted with Larch (March 1997). At each plot samples from the layers of a soil profile were collected up to a depth of about 1m. Additionally at each plot topsoil samples were collected from 12 location along transects (see figure at the bottom) at 0 to 5, 5 to 10, 10 to 15, 15 to 20, 20 to 25 and 25 to 30 cm. All soil samples were air dried, sieved to pass 2mm, and analyzed for pH (DIN ISO 10390 (1997) in a 0.0l m CaCl2 solution with a CG 837-pH-electrode of SCHOTT), for the CEC (DIN 19684 (1977) using a ICP OES 138 of Jobin Yvon Ltd), and for Corg content (DIN ISO 10694 (1994)).
