Abstract

Stable native grass communities and ready establishment of introduced grasses under mature poplar box trees prompted shallow soil sampling under and away from trees. Soil analyses established a higher available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium status under mature poplar box and other trees. A positive association between pH and trees existed in some but not all areas. Possible sources of phosphorus and potassium, related to soil organic matter, deep-rootedness and longevity of trees, and soil movement by wind, are discussed.
