Clear-cuts of forests severely affect soil structure and thus soil organic matter (SOM) and nutrient cycling dynamics therein, though with yet unknown consequences for SOM composition as well as phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) chemical form within the soil microaggregate size fraction. To determine the effects of conventional clear-cutting on soil chemistry in a Cambisol of the Wüstebach Forest (northwestern Germany), we sampled the mineral A- and B-horizons prior to clear-cut as well as 10 and 24 month thereafter.

Several studies currently strive to improve the spatial resolution of coarse scale high temporal resolution global soil moisture products of the satellite missions SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity), SMAP (Soil Moisture Active and Passive) and ASCAT (Advanced Scatterometer). Soil texture heterogeneity is known to be one of the main sources of soil moisture spatial variability. [...]

Climate and numerical weather prediction models, re-analyses, as well as agroecosystem models, require adequate parameter values for soil hydraulic properties (describing e.g. the shape of the soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity curves) at the global scale. [...]

Biogeochemical cycling of elements largely occurs in dissolved state, but many elements may also be bound to natural nanoparticles (NNP, 1–100 nm) and fine colloids (100 450 nm). We examined the hypothesis that the size and composition of stream water NNP and colloids vary systematically across Europe. [...]

Phosphorus (P) species in colloidal and “dissolved” soil fractions may have different distributions. To understand which P species are potentially involved, we obtained water extracts from the surface soils of a gradient 5 from Cambisol, Stagnic Cambisol to Stagnosol from temperate grassland in Germany. [...]

Damit das kostenpflichtige Publizieren in Open-Access-Zeitschriften für alle transparent und nachvollziehbar ist, haben sich Betreiber von Publikationsfonds entschieden, ihre Preisinformationen als Open Data frei verfügbar und nutzbar zu machen. Gemeinsames Ziel ist es, die geleisteten Open-Access-Publikationsgebühren der Hochschulen und außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen in Deutschland umfassend zu dokumentieren..
