ABSTRACT
We presented the results of study on carbon C stock in forest soils of coniferous and mixed deciduousconiferous
habitats in Poland. The C stock was calculated for each soil horizon and for the layer to a depth of
1 m. We compared the results of studies conducted today with 30 years ago and assessed changes in C accumulation
in soils during that period of time. The C stock in the compared habitats did not increase within 30
years, even though the age of the tree stands increased from 55 to 85 years.
