Abstract
A silvoarable experimental site in Buckinghamshire, England combined r ows of poplar trees with an arable rotation. Soil properties were inve stigated using soil carbon and the bodysize of invertebrates. Four yea rs after establishment, the soil within and Im from the tree rows has significantly higher soil organic matter and invertebrate populations. These effects do not extend far beyond the crown diameter.
