To investigate influences of forest plantations on soil nutrient properties, biomass accumulation, major nutrient elements (NPK) and their stoichiometric couplings in different tissues and aged plants, and correlations between major nutrient contents in soils and in foliage of plants, 5-, 10-, 15- and 20-year-old plantations of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and farmland were selected. Black locust plantations increased soil organic carbon (SOC) and N stocks by 23–327 and 23–119 %, respectively, in the 0–10 cm top soil layer compared to those in farmland. Soil C:N, C:P, C:K, N:P, N:K and P:K ratios were 10.1, 22.9, 0.7, 2.2, 0.7 and 0.03, respectively. These ratios were higher in the 0–10 cm soil layer than those in the 10–20 cm soil layer and increased under older plantations. Higher C contents in stem, N contents in leaf, the largest C pools in stem and N pools in root in 20-yearold plantation were observed. Correspondingly, the highest C:N, C:P and C:K and the lowest N:P and N:K ratios in stem, decreased C:N and C:P ratios in older trees were found. No strong correlations were observed between element contents in soils and in leaves of black locust trees. These results suggest that black locust plantations can increase soil nutrient concentrations, SOC and N stocks resulting in changes in element stoichiometric relations. CNPK contents and their stoichiometries vary with tissues and tree ages of black locust. No strong coupling relations exist between major nutrient element contents in the top soil and in foliage of black locust.
