ABSTRACTSoil 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 prolif…

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…

Donmez C., Sahingoz M., Paul C., Cilek A., Hoffmann C., Berberoglu S., Webber H., Helming K. (2024). Climate change causes spatial shifts in the productivity of agricultural long-term field experiments. European Journal of Agronomy, 155(), 127121. doi:10.1016/j.eja.2024.127121

Highlights   The effects of climate change on the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of Long-Term Field Experiments were simulated. Metadata of multiple LTEs were incorporated with NPP modelling using Germany as a test case. A remarkable NPP decrease was found in the LTEs in central Germ…

Habitat for biodiversity is a crucial soil function. When assessed at large spatial scales, subjective assessment models are usually constructed by integrating expert knowledge to estimate soil biodiversity potentials (SBP) and predict their trends. However, these regional evaluation methods are cha…

The rights of authors to their data and thus their right to be mentioned by name when data is reused are valuable assets and are therefore stipulated as part of the principles of the “BonaRes Repository Data Publication Strategy”. The author expects a high visibility (reputation) of the data and a l…

How to adequately represent biological processes in modeling multifunctionality of arable soils. Biology and Fertility of Soils, 60(3), 263-306. doi:10.1007/s00374-024-01802-3

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…

ZusammenfassungMit monatelangen Dürrephasen, Hitzesommern und Hochwasserereignissen ist die globale Klimaerwärmung auch in Deutschland in den letzten Jahren verstärkt in Erscheinung getreten. Im 2021 novellierten Klimaschutzgesetz wird daher eine Klimaneutralität bis 2045 angestrebt. Gleichzeitig si…

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…

Blanchy G., D'Hose T., Donmez C., Hoffmann C., Makoschitz L., Murugan R., O'Sullivan L., Sandén T., Spiegel H., Svoboda N., Zechmeister‐Boltenstern S., Klumpp K. (2024). An open‐source metadataset of running European mid‐ and long‐term agricultural field experiments. Soil Use and Management, 40(1), . doi:10.1111/sum.12978

AbstractMid‐term (MTEs, 5–20 years) and long‐term (LTEs, 20+ years) field experiments are key sources of information to design future climate‐smart agriculture. Within the European Joint Program SOIL (EJP SOIL), we built the EJP SOIL‐MTE/LTE metadataset that contains metadata from 240 MTEs/LTEs acro…
