Mobilization of phosphorus (P) in arable soils might be affected by groundwater fluctuations and the associated changes in redox potential (EH). However, the impact of systematic changes of EH on P mobilization in redoximorphic arable soils along a catena has not been studied so far. Therefore, we i…

Phosphorus (P) fixation is a global problem for soil fertility and negatively impacts agricultural productivity. This study characterizes P desorption of already fixed P by using KCl, KNO3, histidine, and malic acid as inorganic and organic compounds, which are quite common in soil. Goethite, gibbsi…

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of soil- and plant-associated bacterial diversity on the rates of litter decomposition, and bacterial community dynamics during its early phases. We performed an incubation experiment where soil bacterial diversity (but not abundance) w…

Abstract Background The phosphorus (P) stocks of arable subsoils not only influence crop production but also fertilizer P sequestration. However, the extent of this influence is largely unknown. This study aimed to (i) determine the extent of P sequestration with soil depth, (ii) analyze P speciatio…

Knowledge of the interaction between inorganic and organic phosphates with soil minerals is vital for improving soil P-fertility. To achieve an in-depth understanding, we combined adsorption experiments and hybrid ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the adsorption of common phosphate…

Background: In search for more sustainable crop production, the subsoil has recently come into focus as considerable reservoir of nutrients and water. Aims: Dimensions of subsoil phosphorus (P) reserves are yet largely unknown but crucial for identifying regions suitable to include subsoil into sust…

Phosphor (P) ist eine lebensnotwendige und nicht-substituierbare Ressource für die landwirtschaftliche Erzeugung. Um die Nahrungsmittelversorgung sicherzustellen und gleichzeitig düngungsbezogene Umweltschäden zu vermeiden, bedarf es eines nachhaltigen P-Managements. Zwar werden P-bezogene Problemla…
