Energy crops make modest but not negligible demands on soil nutrients. In grey forest soils in the Western Forest-Steppe of Ukraine and compared to rotational grain, legumes and oilseeds, 20-years cultivation of miscanthus brought about a decrease of 2.8 times of boron and 3.6 times of magnesium in the top 20 cm soil layer but an increase of 3.4 times in cobalt, 1.9 times in iron and 3 times in exchangeable calcium. Under Virginia mallow (Sida hermaphrodita L.), a reduction of boron by 1.4 times and 1.15 times of iron was found compared to soil under arable crops. The least difference between macro- and microelements was found under cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.)
