Just C., Poeplau C., Don A., van Wesemael B., Kögel-Knabner I., Wiesmeier M. (2021). A Simple Approach to Isolate Slow and Fast Cycling Organic Carbon Fractions in Central European Soils—Importance of Dispersion Method. Frontiers in Soil Science, 1(), . doi:10.3389/fsoil.2021.692583

Numerous approaches have been developed to isolate fast and slow cycling soil organic carbon (SOC) pools using physical and chemical fractionation. Most of these methods are complex, expensive, and time consuming and unsuited for high-throughput application, such as for regional scale assessments. F…

Wang Y., Wu B., Berns A., Bol R., Wombacher F., Ellmer F., Amelung W. (2021). A century of liming affects the Mg isotopic composition of the soil and crops in a long‐term agricultural field at Berlin‐Dahlem, Germany. European Journal of Soil Science, 72(1), 300-312. doi:10.1111/ejss.12951

Liming is widely used to alleviate soil acidity in western and central Europe, but its role in the cycling of magnesium (Mg) in arable soil–plant systems is still ambiguous. Here, we systematically analysed Mg concentrations and the natural Mg stable isotope compositions (δ26Mg) of two Mg pools in s…

Today’s fertilizers rely heavily on mining phosphorus (P) rocks. These rocks are known to become exhausted in near future, and therefore effective P use is crucial to avoid food shortage. A substantial amount of P from fertilizers gets adsorbed onto soil minerals to become unavailable to plants. Und…

High alpine pastures and climate change – Protecting biodiversity through (re-)grazing? The case study of Brunnenkopfalm in the Ammergau Alps.The abandonment of traditional alpine farming on high mountain pastures (Alms) is the strongest land use change in the European Alps. Besides the loss of a ce…

Governance of natural resources is inherently complex and requires navigating trade-offs at multiple dimensions. In this paper, we present and operationalize the “governance disruptions framework” (GDF) as a tool for holistic analysis of natural resource governance systems. For each of the four dime…

Saggau P., Kuhwald M., Hamer W., Duttmann R. (2021). Are compacted tramlines underestimated features in soil erosion modeling? A catchment‐scale analysis using a process‐based soil erosion model. Land Degradation & Development, 33(3), 452-469. doi:10.1002/ldr.4161

Process-based model ling has long been used as a well-suited tool to simulate soil erosion. Despite a large number of scientific articles that emphasize the role of compacted tramlines for soil erosion and surficial nutrient transport, no study exists that integrates these artificial structures into…

Increased global production of animal-based protein results in high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other adverse consequences for human and planetary health. Recently, commercial insect rearing has been claimed a more sustainable source of animal protein. However, this system also leaves residue…

Han E., Li F., Perkons U., Küpper P., Bauke S., Athmann M., Thorup-Kristensen K., Kautz T., Köpke U. (2021). Can precrops uplift subsoil nutrients to topsoil?. Plant and Soil, 463(1-2), 329-345. doi:10.1007/s11104-021-04910-3

Purpose Precrops exhibit vigorous deep root growth, especially when grown perennially. However, their contribution to accumulate essential nutrients derived from deeper soil layers in the topsoil has not been quantified. We determined the vertical distribution of phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) af…
