Table 2.
Carbon in SOM at equivalent soil mass before planting (2010) and after four years (2014) of a short‐rotation coppice culture for genotypes Skado and Koster. The difference between 2010 and 2014 (DELTA) is also given. SDs are provided in brackets, and significant differences (anova, P < 0.05) between different land uses and years at the same equivalent soil mass are represented with different letters
