      Tree roots penetrate the soil to several meters depth, but the role of subsoils for the supply of nutrient elements such as phosphorus (P) to the trees is poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that increased P ...
    • Permafrost soil complexity evaluated by laboratory imaging Vis-NIR spectroscopy 

      Mueller, Carsten W.ORCIDiD; Steffens, MarkusORCIDiD; Buddenbaum, HenningORCIDiD (European Journal of Soil Science, 2020)
      The biogeochemical functioning of soils (e.g., soil carbon stabilization and nutrient cycling) is determined at the interfaces of specific soil structures (e.g., aggregates, particulate organic matter (POM) and organo-mineral ...
    • The role of clay content and mineral surface area for soil organic carbon storage in an arable toposequence 

      Schweizer, Steffen A.ORCIDiD; Mueller, Carsten W.ORCIDiD; Höschen, CarmenORCIDiD; Ivanov, PavelORCIDiD; Kögel-Knabner, IngridORCIDiD (Biogeochemistry, 2021-10-01)
      Correlations between organic carbon (OC) and fine mineral particles corroborate the important role of the abundance of soil minerals with reactive surfaces to bind and increase the persistence of organic matter (OM). The ...
