Abstract

There is limited knowledge of the contribution of afforested arable land to mitigation of greenhouse effects. In the AFFOREST project we evaluated the rate and magnitude of carbon (C) sequestration in biomass and soils following afforestation of cropland. Two oak (Quercus robur) and four Norway spruce (Picea abies) afforestation chronosequences (age range 1 to 90 years) were studied with respect to C sequestration in Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands.
