Gocke, M., Don, A., Heidkamp, A., Schneider, F., Amelung, W. (2020). The phosphorus status of German cropland—An inventory of top‐ and subsoils. The phosphorus status of German cropland—An inventory of top‐ and subsoils, (), . doi:10.1002/jpln.202000127

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…

This study examined the effect of stripwise subsoiling and subsoiling combined with the incorporation of organic material on crop development in a two-year field trial with typical weather in the first year and hot, dry weather in the second. Subsoiling and its combination with incorporated organic …

Protists are the most important predators of soil microbes like bacteria and fungi and are highly diverse in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the structure of protistan communities throughout the soil profile is still poorly explored. Here, we used Illumina sequencing to track differences in the rel…
