Hamidov A., Kasymov U., Djumaboev K., Paul C. (2022). Rebound Effects in Irrigated Agriculture in Uzbekistan: A Stakeholder-Based Assessment. Sustainability, 14(14), 8375. doi:10.3390/su14148375

There is wide consensus among scholars and practitioners that improved irrigation technologies increase farm productivity and improve resource use efficiency. However, there is also growing empirical evidence that efficiency improvements in irrigation water use may create rebound effects, i.e., they…

Mayer S., Wiesmeier M., Sakamoto E., Hübner R., Cardinael R., Kühnel A., Kögel-Knabner I. (2022.0). Soil organic carbon sequestration in temperate agroforestry systems – A meta-analysis. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 323(), 107689. doi:10.1016/j.agee.2021.107689

Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration by improved agricultural practices is an acclaimed strategy to combat climate change. Nevertheless, the aim of increasing of SOC encounters limitations, e.g. with regards to permanence of carbon storage or leakage effects in food production. Agroforestry syste…

Just C., Poeplau C., Don A., van Wesemael B., Kögel-Knabner I., Wiesmeier M. (2021.0). A Simple Approach to Isolate Slow and Fast Cycling Organic Carbon Fractions in Central European Soils—Importance of Dispersion Method. Frontiers in Soil Science, 1(), . doi:10.3389/fsoil.2021.692583

Numerous approaches have been developed to isolate fast and slow cycling soil organic carbon (SOC) pools using physical and chemical fractionation. Most of these methods are complex, expensive, and time consuming and unsuited for high-throughput application, such as for regional scale assessments. F…

Agricultural long-term experiments (LTEs) are an important research infrastructure for agriculture, plant and soil sciences. The aim of this metadata compilation is to make LTEs easier to find and to facilitate networking. LTEs are here defined as agricultural experiments with a minimum duration of …

Governance of natural resources is inherently complex and requires navigating trade-offs at multiple dimensions. In this paper, we present and operationalize the “governance disruptions framework” (GDF) as a tool for holistic analysis of natural resource governance systems. For each of the four dime…

Agrarumweltzahlungen sind ein zentrales Instrument der Politik zur Verbesserung der Umweltqualität von Agrarlandschaften. Der interdisziplinäre Beitrag schlägt ein neuartiges Design für Agrarumweltzahlungs-Programme (genannt payments for modelled results, PAMR) vor, in dessen Rahmen die Zahlungen au…

Wang Y., Bauke S., von Sperber C., Tamburini F., Guigue J., Winkler P., Kaiser K., Honermeier B., Amelung W. (2021.0). Soil phosphorus cycling is modified by carbon and nitrogen fertilization in a long‐term field experiment. Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, 184(2), 282-293. doi:10.1002/jpln.202000261

Background and aims: Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for crop growth. However, while links of P turnover in soils to carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) availability have been described, it remains to be clarified how combinations of fertilizer C and N additions affect stocks and cycling of distinct …

In this communication, I reply to the recent article by Jeffery and Verheijen (2020) ‘A new soil health policy paradigm: Pay for practice not performance!’. While expressing support for their call for a more pronounced role of soil protection in agri-environmental policy, I critically discuss the tw…
