• Land‐use intensity and biodiversity effects on infiltration capacity and hydraulic conductivity of grassland soils in southern Germany 

      Leimer, SophiaORCIDiD; Berner, Doreen; Birkhofer, Klaus; Boeddinghaus, Runa S.; Fischer, Markus; Kandeler, Ellen; Kuka, Katrin; Marhan, Sven; Prati, Daniel; Schäfer, Deborah; Schöning, IngoORCIDiD; Solly, Emily F.; Wolters, Volkmar; Wilcke, WolfgangORCIDiD (Ecohydrology, 2021-06-16)
      Evidence from experimental and established grasslands indicates that plant biodiversity can modify the water cycle. One suspected mechanism behind this is a higher infiltration capacity (νB) and hydraulic conductivity (K) ...
    • Potential erodibility of semi‐arid steppe soils derived from aggregate stability tests 

      Koza, MoritzORCIDiD; Pöhlitz, Julia; Prays, Aleksey; Kaiser, KlausORCIDiD; Mikutta, RobertORCIDiD; Conrad, ChristopherORCIDiD; Vogel, CordulaORCIDiD; Meinel, Tobias; Akshalov, KanatORCIDiD; Schmidt, GerdORCIDiD (European Journal of Soil Science, 2022-09-25)
      Erosion is a severe threat to the sustainable use of agricultural soils. However, the structural resistance of soil against the disruptive forces steppe soils experience under field conditions has not been investigated. ...
