Three decades of monitoring the responses to alkaline K-rich applications in an acidified, K-deficient Norway spruce (Picea abies) stand reveals that forest restoration depends on treatment type: Rock dust, wood ash, dolomite and/or potassium sulphate Open

Robrecht Van Der Bauwhede, Nele Schillebeeks, Peter Hartmann, Klaus von Wilpert, Raphael Habel , et al. · 2025

Wood ash and rock dust have been suggested as suitable soil amendments to restore acidified and nutrient-depleted forests, but long-term data are generally lacking to justify the claims. The biogeochemical responses to such amendments were…

Natural Recovery and Liming Effects in Acidified Forest Soils in SW-Germany Open

Lelde Jansone, Klaus von Wilpert, Peter Hartmann · 2020

In the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Southwest-Germany, a large-scale forest liming trial was government-funded in 1983 and a lime treatment was carried out in autumn 1983 until early winter 1984. Repeated liming was applied in 2003. The li…

Black Alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) on Compacted Skid Trails: A Trade-off between Greenhouse Gas Fluxes and Soil Structure Recovery? Open

Hannes Warlo, Klaus von Wilpert, Friederike Lang, Helmer Schack‐Kirchner · 2019

The compaction of forest soils can deteriorate soil aeration, leading to decreased CH4 uptake and increased N2O efflux. Black alder (Alnus glutinosa) may accelerate soil structure regeneration as it can grow roots under anaerobic soil cond…

The Potential of Liming to Improve Drought Tolerance of Norway Spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] Open

Martin Kohler, Jörg Kunz, Johannes Herrmann, Peter Hartmann, Lelde Jansone , et al. · 2019

In response to a wide-spread decline in forest vitality associated with acid rain in the 1980s, liming of soils has been implemented in many federal states in Germany to buffer further acid deposition and improve availability of nutrients …

Soil Water Budget and Drought Stress Open

Heike Puhlmann, Paul Schmidt‐Walter, Peter Hartmann, Henning Meesenburg, Klaus von Wilpert · 2019

The availability of water to roots is a central property for the growth and productivity of forests. Because nearly all plant nutrients are taken up from the soil solution, there is a close connection between forest nutrition and the water…

Juan Luis Flores Fernández, Peter Hartmann, Jürgen Schäffer, Heike Puhlmann, Klaus von Wilpert · 2017

Unsicherheiten bei der Berechnung von Nährstoffbilanzen an Umweltmessnetzen Open

Bernd Ahrends, Christian Vonderach, Wendeling Weis, Klaus von Wilpert · 2017

Obwohl die Nährstoffbilanz ein wichtiges Instrument bei der Entwicklung von Bewirtschaftungsstrategien ist, bestehen nach wie vor erhebliche Unsicherheiten, die ihren Einsatz in Forstplanung und Beratung der Waldbesitzer erschwert. Unbedin…

The leaching of natural colloids from forest surface soils and their role for the P transfer Open

Anna Missong, Stefan Holzmann, Roland Bol, Volker Nischwitz, Heike Puhlmann , et al. · 2017

Soil nanoparticles (d<100nm) and colloids (d<1µm) exert a decisive control on the mobilisation of strongly sorbing compounds such as phosphorus (P). We investigated the nanoparticles and colloids present in forest soil leachates exam…

Soil phosphorus supply controls P nutrition strategies of beech forest ecosystems in Central Europe Open

Friederike Lang, Jaane Krüger, Wulf Amelung, Sabine Willbold, Emmanuel Frossard , et al. · 2017

Phosphorus availability may shape plant–microorganism–soil interactions in forest ecosystems. Our aim was to quantify the interactions between soil P availability and P nutrition strategies of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) forests. We a…

Waldböden: Nutzung und Schutz Open

Bernd Ahrends, Uwe Klinck, Heike Fortmann, Markus Wagner, Henning Meesenburg , et al. · 2017
