Abdalla K., Sun Y., Zarebanadkouki M., Gaiser T., Seidel S., Pausch J. (2022). Long-term continuous farmyard manure application increases soil carbon when combined with mineral fertilizers due to lower priming effects. Geoderma, 428(), 116216. doi:10.1016/j.geoderma.2022.116216

Organic and synthetic fertilizers not only increase soil fertility and crop productivity but also enhance soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the priming effect (PE) leads to increased soil carbon (C) loss through native SOC mineralization. To date, the mechanisms by which long-term (>66 years) synt…

AbstractMedium‐to‐high elevation grasslands provide critical services in agriculture and ecosystem stabilization, through high biodiversity and providing food for wildlife. However, these ecosystems face elevated risks of disruption due to predicted soil and climate changes. Separating the effects o…

Soils influence human well-being in manifold ways. However, their multifunctionality implies trade-offs. Moreover, soils are a scarce stock of natural capital. Many soil-based ecosystem services are collective goods, whose provision is affected by externalities of soil management. This chapter provi…

This article describes the data from a discrete choice experiment survey into public preferences for soil-based ecosystem services. The survey was conducted online in June and July 2021 on a representative sample of 1500 German citizens. Four soil-based ecosystem services were included as attributes…

Bartkowski B., Massenberg J., Lienhoop N. (2022). Investigating preferences for soil-based ecosystem services. Q Open, 2(2), . doi:10.1093/qopen/qoac035

Abstract Soil provides multiple benefits for human well-being that are largely invisible to most beneficiaries. Here, we present the results of a discrete choice experiment on the preferences of Germans for soil-based ecosystem services. In an attempt to reduce complexity for respondents, we expres…

Bauke S., Amelung W., Bol R., Brandt L., Brüggemann N., Kandeler E., Meyer N., Or D., Schnepf A., Schloter M., Schulz S., Siebers N., von Sperber C., Vereecken H. (2022). Soil water status shapes nutrient cycling in agroecosystems from micrometer to landscape scales. Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, 185(6), 773-792. doi:10.1002/jpln.202200357

Soil water status, which refers to the wetness or dryness of soils, is crucial for the productivity of agroecosystems, as it determines nutrient cycling and uptake physically via transport, biologically via the moisture-dependent activity of soil flora, fauna, and plants, and chemically via specific…

Betancur-Corredor B., Lang B., Russell D. (2022). Organic nitrogen fertilization benefits selected soil fauna in global agroecosystems. Biology and Fertility of Soils, (), . doi:10.1007/s00374-022-01677-2

AbstractSoil fauna plays an essential role in agricultural productivity as it mediates nutrient cycling and soil organic matter dynamics, alters soil physicochemical properties and supports plant growth. Nitrogen fertilization may have a positive or negative influence on soil fauna in a manner that …

Betancur‐Corredor B., Lang B., Russell D. (2022). Reducing tillage intensity benefits the soil micro‐ and mesofauna in a global meta‐analysis. European Journal of Soil Science, 73(6), . doi:10.1111/ejss.13321

Soil fauna drives crucial processes of energy and nutrient cycling in agricultural systems, and influences the quality of crops and pest incidence. Soil tillage is the most influential agricultural manipulation of soil structure, and has a profound influence on soil biology and its provision of ecos…
