Climate change and management intensity alter spatial distribution and abundance of P mineralizing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in mountainous grassland soils. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 186(), 109175. doi:10.1016/j.soilbio.2023.109175

In mountainous grasslands management adaptations are required to maintain soil functions. We investigated climate change (CC) and management effects on the abundance and potential activity of microbiota catalyzing the major steps of P transformation which are still unknown in these grasslands. Soil …

Agricultural soils provide multiple ecosystem services that affect human well-being. Soils’ potential to provide these ecosystem services varies spatially. Socio-demographic and other drivers of environmental preferences are also spatially variable. Therefore, preferences for soil-based ecosystem se…

Wind erosion from agricultural land is an underrated and understudied environmental challenge in Europe. Its societal and policy relevance will likely increase in the near future due to climate change and associated increases in the frequency, severity and patterns of atmospheric events such as drou…

The application of livestock slurry in soils can lead to nitrogen (N) losses through ammonia (NH3) emission or nitrate (NO3−) leaching. Oxidized biochar has great potential to mitigate N losses due to its strong adsorption capacity; however, the effects of oxidized biochar in different soils treated…

Straw amendment and nitrification inhibitor controlling N losses and immobilization in a soil cooling-warming experiment. Science of The Total Environment, 870(), 162007. doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162007

It is common practice in agriculture to apply high‑carbon amendments, e.g. straw, or nitrification inhibitors (NI) to reduce soil nitrogen (N) losses. However, little is known on the combined effects of straw and NI and how seasonal soil temperature variations further affect N immobilization. We con…

Environmental heterogeneity modulates the effect of plant diversity on the spatial variability of grassland biomass. Nature Communications, 14(1), . doi:10.1038/s41467-023-37395-y

AbstractPlant productivity varies due to environmental heterogeneity, and theory suggests that plant diversity can reduce this variation. While there is strong evidence of diversity effects on temporal variability of productivity, whether this mechanism extends to variability across space remains el…

The objective of the study was to estimate the expected changes of agroclimatic conditions spatially for the German LTE sites as a precondition for modelling and LTE data interpretation. An integrated GIS-based framework was developed incorporating spatially distributed climate data and LTE metadata…
