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…

Abstract Background & Aims Enhancing water use efficiency (WUE) is critical in the regulation of water stress in plants. Since both WUE and 13C discrimination depend on stomatal conductance (gₛ) and CO2 assimilation rate (A), Δ13C values have been widely utilized as a proxy for WUE. However, to di…

The drilosphere is described as a microbial hotspot in soil, which is rich in labile nutrients. However, phosphorus (P) quality and availability change along the drilosphere from labile organically-bound P in upper layers to immobilized Ca-phosphate with increasing depth. In this study, we postulate…

AbstractEssential soil functions such as plant productivity, C storage, nutrient cycling and the storage and purification of water all depend on soil biological processes. Given this insight, it is remarkable that in modeling of these soil functions, the various biological actors usually do not play…
