- Observation British soils were estimated to hold about 22 × 10 9 t carbon.
- Observation British vegetation including forests held 115 × 10 6 t carbon.
- Observation Peats and peaty-surfaced soils contained 86 percent of soil carbon.
- Association Soil carbon content was strongly related to climate and altitude.
- Intervention effect Conversion of lowland cultivated land to forest can accumulate soil carbon.
- Observation Soil carbon may recover toward original levels decades after reafforestation.
- Intervention effect Shorter forest rotations may cause long-term soil carbon decline.
