ORGANIC CARBON STOCKS IN A SILTY TEXTURED SOIL FOLLOWING REINTEGRATION OF A 20 YEARS OLD <I>MISCANTHUS</I> × <I>GIGANTEUS</I> SITE INTO A CROP ROTATION

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS• 0.98 Mg• ha −1 • yr −1 Corg accumulation under miscanthus over 26 years. • Corg accumulation under miscanthus continued even up to 26 years. • Reintegration of a miscanthus site into a crop rotation induced decreasing C stocks at first after 6 years.
