Abstract: 
Soils under 4-8 years cultivated Miscanthus on different sites in Germany had greater content of organic carbon (C-org) ((x) over bar = + 0.20%) and total nitrogen (N-t) ((x) over bar = 0.02%). Accordingly, the cation exchange capacities (CEC) and contents of plant available potassium had increased. Among the physical soil properties, decreases in bulk density as well as increases in porosity and water retention were observed. These effects seemed to be increasing during continuous growing of Miscanthus in the field.
