Abstract

•Complex study of European larch and Norway spruce growth in relation to previous land use.•Afforestation of agricultural land sequestered by 45% more carbon as forest land.•Larch exhibited higher wood density and compression strength compared to spruce.•Tree biomass production was comparable for both tree species.•Larch trees were more resistant to stem rot compared to spruce.
