Properties of the top 30 cm of soil under plantations of 1‐yr to 8‐yr old Eucalyptus (the hybrid E. tereticornis) and in adjacent natural mixed broad‐leaved forest were compared in the sub‐tropical zone of the central Himalaya. Various soil‐physical characteristics decreased with increasing age; soil‐chemical properties, notably organic carbon, total N, P and K decreased as a result of reforestation with Eucalyptus and further decreased with increasing age of the plantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
