Catch crop diversity increases rhizosphere carbon input and soil microbial biomass. Biology and Fertility of Soils, 56(7), 943-957. doi:10.1007/s00374-020-01475-8

Abstract Catch crops increase plant species richness in crop rotations, but are most often grown as pure stands. Here, we investigate the impacts of increasing plant diversity in catch crop rotations on rhizosphere C input and microbial utilization. Mustard (Sinapis alba L.) planted as a single cul…

Food is wasted throughout the entire food supply chain—from agricultural production to the household level. This has negative impacts on natural resources and the environment. At the same time, food waste is undermining the global target of food security. In turn, reducing food waste can minimise th…

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emission is a negative side effect of modern agriculture and a serious issue for global climate change. The combined application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and high organic carbon soil amendments (HCA) has been regarded as an alternative to promote fertilizer-related N immobiliza…

Classification of challenging Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy soil sample data - EMSLIBS contest. Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy, 169(), 105872. doi:10.1016/j.sab.2020.105872

We present results of the classification contest organized for the EMSLIBS 2019 conference. For this publication, we chose only the five best approaches and discussed their algorithm in detail. The main focus of the contest reflected both recent and long-term challenges of Laser-Induced Breakdown Sp…

The soil-borne apple replant disease (ARD) is caused by biotic agents and affected by abiotic properties. There is evidence for the interrelation of the soil fungal population and soil aggregate structure. The aim of this study conducted between March and October 2020 on an orchard in north-east Ger…

(2020). Crop growth and soil water fluxes at erosion‐affected arable sites: Using weighing lysimeter data for model intercomparison. Vadose Zone Journal, 19(1), . doi:10.1002/vzj2.20058

Agroecosystem models need to reliably simulate all biophysical processes that control crop growth, articularly the soil water fluxes and nutrient dynamics. As a result of the erosion history, truncated and colluvial soil profiles coexist in arable fields. The erosion-affected field-scale soil spatia…

In order to enable timely actions to prevent major losses of crops caused by lack of nutrients and, hence, increase the potential yield throughout the growing season while at the same time prevent excess fertilization with detrimental environmental consequences, early, non-invasive, and on-site dete…
