Schmelmer, K. (2025). Methodischer Bericht zur Ähnlichkeitsbestimmung von Bodenprofilen und zu den erstellten Bodenfunktionskarten. , : BonaRes Series.

Bodenprozessmodelle dienen u. a. der Vorhersage und Quantifizierung des Einflusses von Bewirtschaftungsmaßnahmen auf wichtige Bodenfunktionen. Als Standortmodelle benötigen sie numerische Eingangsdaten. Ziel war es, bundesweite Bodenfunktionskarten auf der Basis der BÜK200 zu generieren, deren Fläch…

Gocke, M.I., Bauke, S.L., Athmann, M., Baumecker, M., Berns, A.E., Don, A., Gaiser, T., Gerdes, H., Guigue, J., Jahanbakhshi, F., Kautz, T., Klein, D.-P., Kögel-Knabner, I., Rillig, M., Schloter, M., Schmittmann, O., Schnepf, A., Schweitzer, K., Seidel, S., Selzner, T., Skadell, L., Sommer, M., Sriv… (). Unterbodenmanagement - Grundlagen, Entscheidungshilfen und sozio-ökonomische Aspekte. , : .

Dieses Handbuch vermittelt Grundkenntnisse über den Unterboden und praxisrelevante Aspekte der Unterbodenmelioration. Es wird das Potential des Unterbodens für die Wasser- und Nährstoffversorgung von Nutzpflanzen und somit seine Rolle für eine nachhaltige Landwirtschaft erläutert. Es wird ein Überbl…

Herbst M., Mohammed G., Eichler‐Löbermann B., Amelung W., Vanderborght J., Siebers N. (2025). Linking Measurable Phosphorus Pools With Simulations of Soil P Dynamics: Results for the Long‐Term Experiment ‘Rostock’. European Journal of Soil Science, 76(4), . doi:10.1111/ejss.70160

ABSTRACTPhosphorus (P) is removed from agroecosystems through harvesting, and sustainable management must include P fertilization as P availability affects crop performance. However, accurate assessment of plant‐available P is challenging. In this study, two promising approaches are combined to asse…

Schmelmer, K. (2025). Bericht zu Sensitivitätsanalysen mit CANDY. BonaRes Series, (), . doi:10.5281/zenodo.16949253

Ziel dieser Studie war es einen Sensitivitätstest durchzuführen, um den Einfluss bestimmter Antriebsparameter auf wichtige Ausgabeparameter die für Modellierungen genutzt werden zu ermitteln. Diese Toleranzbereiche für Modell-Eingabeparameterwerte berücksichtigen die in der Natur vorkommenden fließe…

Lachmuth S., Dönmez C., Hoffmann C., Specka X., Svoboda N., Helming K. (2025). Facilitating Effective Reuse of Soil Research Data: The BonaRes Repository. European Journal of Soil Science, 76(2), . doi:10.1111/ejss.70103

Soil plays a paramount role in addressing complex challenges related to climate change, the agri‐food system, and ecosystem services. This importance makes soil research data highly relevant for meta‐analysis, research synthesis, modelling, and assessment. As data‐intensive techniques proliferate in…

Quiroga, S., Ratering, S., David Rosado-Porto, D., Rekowski, A., Schulz, F., Zörb, C., Schnell, S. (2025). Seed inoculation of Hartmannibacter diazotrophicus does not alter the rhizosphere bacterial microbiome of wheat and barley in a three-year field trial. Applied Soil Ecology, 206(), . doi:0.1016/j.apsoil.2024.10582

he effects of plant growth promoting bacteria used for inoculation on native microorganisms remain unexplored under field conditions and, to a lesser extent, in longitudinal studies using different crops. This study, spanning three seasons across two organic fields, examined through 16S rRNA gene se…

Salako, G., Zaitsev, A., Betancur-Corredor, B., Russell, D. J. (2024). Modelling and spatial prediction of earthworms ecological-categories distribution reveal their habitat and environmental preferences. Ecological Indicators, 169(112832), . doi:org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2024.112832

Earthworms are one of the important soil animals and have been generally described as soil engineers. Knowledge on environmental conditions driving the distribution and population of this soil animal and the habitat which support these conditions especially at the ecological level is required to und…

Ahmed A., Morshedizad M., Kühn O., Leinweber P. (2024.0). Deciphering competitive interactions: Phosphate and organic matter binding on goethite through experimental and theoretical insights. Science of The Total Environment, 940(), 173510. doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173510

The adsorption of phosphorus (P) onto active soil surfaces plays a pivotal role in immobilizing P, thereby influencing soil fertility and the filter function of soil to protect freshwater systems from eutrophication. Competitive anions, such as organic matter (OM), significantly affect the strength …

Koch S., Liu H., Lenz C., Eichler-Löbermann B., Vogel H., Lennartz B. (2024.0). Soil structure and solute transport pathways in biogas digestate-amended soils. Soil and Tillage Research, 240(), 106074. doi:10.1016/j.still.2024.106074

Here, we investigated the effects of biogas digestate application on flow pathways and soil properties in a sandy soil aiming at unraveling phosphorus accumulation and depletion processes in fertilized soils. Dye tracer experiments were conducted to visualize and distinguish between various flow pat…

Schön J., Gentsch N., Breunig P. (2024.0). Cover crops support the climate change mitigation potential of agroecosystems. PLOS ONE, 19(5), e0302139. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0302139

Cover crops have the potential to mitigate climate change by reducing negative impacts of agriculture on ecosystems. This study is first to quantify the net climate change mitigation impact of cover crops including land-use effects. A systematic literature and data review was conducted to identify m…
