Abstract Site-appropriate tree species can provide greater ecological benefit by improving soil physicochemical properties and soil fertility and by increasing carbon sequestration. However, inter-species ranking derived from long-term, reliable data is still scarce. In this study, 13 tree species from >30 yr of afforestation at long-term experimental forest plots were selected, and 24 parameters comprised of soil physiochemical properties, fertility, and level of carbon sequestration were determined to rank the tree species. The two ranking methods used (significance summation method and PCA extraction method) showed similar inter-specific differences (linear relations, r2 = 0.68–0.95, p
