Properties of the top 30 cm of soil under plantations of 1‐yr to 8‐yr old Eucalyptus (the hybrid E. tereticornis) and in adjacent natural mixed broad‐leaved forest were compared in the sub‐tropical zone of the central Himalaya. Various soil‐physical characteristics decreased with increasing age; soil‐chemical properties, notably organic carbon, total N, P and K decreased as a result of reforestation with Eucalyptus and further decreased with increasing age of the plantation.
