From climate-smart agriculture to climate-smart landscapes [PDF]
Agriculture & Food Security, 2012 Background For agricultural systems to achieve climate-smart objectives, including improved food security and rural livelihoods as well as climate change adaptation and mitigation, they often need to be take a landscape approach; they must become ...

Reactive nitrogen fluxes over peatland and forest ecosystems using micrometeorological measurement techniques [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2022 Interactions of reactive nitrogen (Nr) compounds between the atmosphere and the earth's surface play a key role in atmospheric chemistry and in understanding nutrient cycling of terrestrial ecosystems.

Gas chromatography vs. quantum cascade laser-based N2O flux measurements using a novel chamber design [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Recent advances in laser spectrometry offer new opportunities to investigate the soil–atmosphere exchange of nitrous oxide. During two field campaigns conducted at a grassland site and a willow field, we tested the performance of a quantum cascade laser (

Underestimation of denitrification rates from field application of the 15N gas flux method and its correction by gas diffusion modelling [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2019 Common methods for measuring soil denitrification in situ include monitoring the accumulation of 15N-labelled N2 and N2O evolved from 15N-labelled soil nitrate pool in closed chambers that are placed on the soil surface. Gas diffusion is considered to be

Correcting high-frequency losses of reactive nitrogen flux measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2020 Flux measurements of reactive nitrogen compounds are of increasing importance to assess the impact of unintended emissions on sensitive ecosystems and to evaluate the efficiency of mitigation strategies.

Effects of fresh and aged chars from pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization on nutrient sorption in agricultural soils [PDF]
SOIL, 2015 Leaching of nutrients from agricultural soils causes major environmental problems that may be reduced with amendments of chars derived from pyrolysis (pyrochars) or hydrothermal carbonization (hydrochars).

Hot regions of labile and stable soil organic carbon in Germany – Spatial variability and driving factors [PDF]
SOIL, 2018 Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels can be mitigated by sequestering carbon in the soil. Sequestration can be facilitated by agricultural management, but its influence is not the same on all soil carbon pools, as labile pools with a high turnover may be
