Abundance of Human Pathogenic Microorganisms in the Halophyte Salicornia europaea L.: Influence of the Chemical Composition of Shoots and Soils Open
Salicornia europaea L. is a halophilic plant species belonging to Chenopodiaceae, whose shoots are used as a vegetable. Since the shoots can be eaten raw, the objective of the present study was to investigate possible controls on the abund…
Variety and Site Drive Salix Mixture Effects on Soil Organic Matter Chemistry and Soil Carbon Accumulation Open
Soil organic matter (SOM) is essential for nutrient cycling and soil carbon (C) accumulation, both of which are heavily influenced by the quality and quantity of plant litter. Since SOM dynamics in relation to plant diversity are poorly un…
Variety and Site Drive <em>Salix</em> Mixture Effects on Soil Organic Matter Chemistry and Soil Carbon Accumulation Open
Soil organic matter (SOM) is essential for nutrient cycling and soil carbon (C) accumu-lation, both of which are heavily influenced by the quality and quantity of plant litter. Since SOM dynamics in relation to plant diversity are poorly u…
The dark side of orange: Multiorganismic continuum dynamics within a lichen of the Atacama Desert Open
Over the decades our understanding of lichens has shifted to the fact that they are multiorganismic, symbiotic microecosystems, with their complex interactions coming to the fore due to recent advances in microbiomics. Here, we present a m…
Peat Formation in Rewetted Fens as Reflected by Saturated n-Alkyl Acid Concentrations and Patterns Open
The conversion of cultivated fen peat soils into rewetted soils can mitigate global climate change. Specifically, carbon in newly formed peat can store atmospheric CO2 for a long time in soil, but alterations in the quality of soil organic…
Influence of Biogas Digestates on the Composition of Soil Organic Matter Open
The increasing number of biogas plants with various digested organic materials and output of digestates calls for more detailed investigations of their suitability as soil amendments. In a trial in Northern Germany two replicate plots each…
Clay fraction properties and grassland management imprint on soil organic matter composition and stability at molecular level Open
The dynamics of soil carbon in grassland are partly determined by soil organic matter (SOM) composition. However, it remains unclear which role grassland management plays in the interplay between SOM composition and carbon dynamics. Using …

Dissolved organic matter concentration, molecular composition, and functional groups in contrasting management practices of peatlands Open
About 91,300 ha of peatlands has been rewetted in western Europe since the mid‐1990s. Still, it is unknown how long‐term rewetting alters the dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentration, molecular composition, and functional groups. We ex…

Depth-dependent decomposition of root litter in drained and rewetted fen ecosystems Open
Peatlands cover only 3% of the lands surface, but store roughly a third of the global soil carbon due to inhibited decomposition rates. Over a third of the peatland area in Europe are fens, in which the peat is primarily formed by roots an…
How the recently discovered grit crust shapes the Atacama Desert – Combining environmental studies on cryptogams and remote sensing Open
The Atacama Desert is the driest non-polar desert on Earth, presenting precarious conditions for biological activity. In the arid coastal belt, life is restricted to areas with fog events that cause almost daily wet-dry cycles. In such an …
Desert breath—How fog promotes a novel type of soil biocenosis, forming the coastal Atacama Desert’s living skin Open
The Atacama Desert is the driest non‐polar desert on Earth, presenting precarious conditions for biological activity. In the arid coastal belt, life is restricted to areas with fog events that cause almost daily wet–dry cycles. In such an …
Erosion Induced Heterogeneity of Soil Organic Matter in Catenae from the Baltic Sea Catchment Open
Soil organic matter (SOM) is unevenly distributed in arable fields in undulated landscapes, but the chemical composition resulting from their turnover, transport and deposition processes is insufficiently known. Therefore, we aimed at disc…
Sustainability of Impacts of Poplar Growth on Soil Organic Matter in Eutric Cambisols Open
Short rotation coppices (SRC) with poplar on arable soils constitute no-till management in combination with a changed litter quality compared to annual crops. Both tillage and litter quality impact soil organic matter (SOM) composition, bu…
Ortho-Parahydrogen Mixer, Catalysts, Measurement Devices and their Application Open
For the majority of low temperature hydrogen applications the ortho- to parahydrogen (o-p-H2) spin configuration plays a vital role. Examples are liquid storage (heat of conversion) or neutron moderation (unequal cross section). Decreasing…
The Composition and Stability of Clay-Associated Organic Matter along a Soil Profile Open
Organic carbon in subsoil generally has longer turnover times than that in surface soil, but little is known about how the stability of the specific organic compound classes changes with soil depth. The objective of this study was to analy…
Intraspecific diversity of the rhizodeposition of Lupinus angustifolius L. regarding the phosphorus mobilization in the soil Open
The cropping of lupines (Lupinus spp.) for protein production is rising worldwide. The growth of lupines is often limited by P deficiency, caused by low P bioavailability in soils. The rhizodeposition is a leading control of the P mobiliza…
Tillage-induced short-term soil organic matter turnover and respiration Open
Tillage induces decomposition and mineralisation of soil organic matter (SOM) by the disruption of macroaggregates and may increase soil CO2 efflux by respiration, but these processes are not well understood at the molecular level. We samp…
