• Fate and stability of dissolved organic carbon in topsoils and subsoils under beech forests 

      Kalks, Fabian; Liebmann, Patrick; Wordell-Dietrich, Patrick; Guggenberger, GeorgORCIDiD; Kalbitz, Karsten; Mikutta, RobertORCIDiD; Helfrich, Mirjam; Don, AxelORCIDiD (Biogeochemistry, 2020-03-09)
      Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from Oa horizons has been proposed to be an important contributor for subsoil organic carbon stocks. We investigated the fate of DOC by directly injecting a DOC solution from 13C labelled ...
    • 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. ...
    • Response of subsoil organic matter contents and physical properties to long‐term, high‐rate farmyard manure application 

      Leuther, FredericORCIDiD; Wolff, MaximilianORCIDiD; Kaiser, KlausORCIDiD; Schumann, Lena; Merbach, Ines; Mikutta, RobertORCIDiD; Schlüter, SteffenORCIDiD (European Journal of Soil Science, 2022-03-31)
      Application of farmyard manure (FYM) is common practice to improve physical and chemical properties of arable soil and crop yields. However, studies on effects of FYM application mainly focussed on topsoils, whereas subsoils ...
