Soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) combining with physical and chemical properties play important roles in terrestrial C and nutrient cycling; however, how C and N in deep soils respond to land-use change is less understood, hindering the precise evaluation of soil C dynamics and budgets. Here, we present results regarding soil C, N and related soil properties at 0-500 cm depth as affected by afforestation at two sites (Fufeng and Yongshou) with contrasting soil inorganic C (SIC) levels in China's Loess Plateau. The concentrations of SIC ranged from 12.94 to 20.17 g kg(-1) in Fufeng and from 0.18 to 0.36 g kg(-1) in Yongshou. The objectives of this study were to examine how soil C and N in deep soils are altered following afforestation and how these effects vary with soil depth and site. We found that the establishment of woodland on cropland increased soil porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity but decreased the bulk density in the topsoils (0-20 cm). The conversion of cropland to woodland resulted in an increase of soil electric conductivity in the topsoils and a decrease in the deep soils in Fufeng but had an opposite influence with soil depth in Yongshou. This land-use change increased organic C and total N concentrations along the 0-500 cm soils at both sites but had divergent effects on the concentrations of SIC and soil total C (STC) between the two sites. Overall, the concentrations of SIC and STC increased in Yongshou but decreased in Fufeng after woodland establishment. The results from this study indicated the determination of the initial SIC concentration on the response of C to afforestation in semiarid soils, and such determination should be considered in biogeochemical models.
