Differences in soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) between broadleaved and coniferous forests are not well‐defined, hindering the evaluation of the influence of forest‐type on land degradation and development. For these two foresttypes, we determined differences in soil aggregation, SOC, and TN by comparing 202 plots at six sites with 14 common afforestation tree species. Bulk soil was separated to macroaggregates (0.25–2 mm), microaggregates (0.053–0.25 mm), and silt and clay fractions (
