Optimizing nutrient use efficiency of strip cropping systems: how does spatial diversity of plant and microbial properties influence soil nutrient cycling?
Strip cropping of multiple species has been proposed as a viable strategy to diversify intensive monocultural production systems through space and time, thereby supporting the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient ag ...

The environmental and economic impacts of waste recycling on cropland C balance
Introduction: Waste recycling could be environmentally friendly practice to manage carbon (C) sequestration in arable farming. It has become a hot research topic recently because the promotion of circular agriculture and the need ...

Busy beavers capture carbon
Environmental scientists have proposed drawing carbon out of the air and burying it to reduce greenhouse gasses and the impact of climate change. Maybe we can take some tips from natureâ€™s own eco-engineers â€“ beavers â€“ which ...

Herb-rich grassland: exploring effects on soil characteristics in relation to nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions
From spring 2025-spring 2026 a field experiment is taking place with different mixtures of grasses (Lolium perenne and Festuca arundinacea), legumes (Trifolium pratense and T. repens) with biological nitrogen (N) fixation, and a h ...

Leaf manganese as a proxy for root exudation of carboxylates? (SBL)
Certain plant species release root exudates with high concentrations of carboxylates in response to phosphorus limitation. These carboxylates mobilize P from less available P sources. However, root exudates are very difficult to m ...

Biological soil health indicators for agricultural management and environmental impact
Soil health indicators are important tools for assessing the state of agricultural soils as affected by management practices (e.g. tillage, farming system, agroforestry etc..) or environmental impact (e.g. climate change). The kno ...

Investigating the effect of an earthworm-processed rock on carbon and heavy metals dynamics in grasslands
Enhanced Silicate Weathering has been proposed as a new technology to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the form of inorganic carbon (IC). This technology relies on the natural process of mineral weathering and consists ...

Is there a need to apply organic fertilizers to agricultural soils?
: Soil organic matter is highly relevant to multiple soil processes and functions. How much needs to be applied from which quality to supply specific functions, however, is not clear. A long term field experiment with plots that h ...

Climate resilience in agroforestry systems.
Agroforestry is increasingly recognised as a potential mitigation and adaptation strategy against climate change. Agroforestry is often argued to increase soil carbon, improve nutrient cycling and promote soil biodiversity. Howeve ...
