Distribution of Al, Fe, Si, and DOC between size fractions mobilised from topsoil horizons with progressing degree of podzolisation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Aluminium, Fe, Si, and dissolved organic C (DOC) accumulate in the subsoil of Podzols after mobilisation in the topsoil. We conducted laboratory experiments with topsoil horizons with progressing degree of podzolisation by irrigation with artificial ...

Analytical expressions for noncapillary soil water retention based on popular capillary retention models

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, 2020
Recently, Weber et al. proposed a new model for noncapillary retention of soil water without introducing new parameters. The model is based on the integral of any given saturation function for the capillary part in log space.

Saprotrophic and Ectomycorrhizal Fungi Contribute Differentially to Organic P Mobilization in Beech-Dominated Forest Ecosystems

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient, but European forest ecosystems are experiencing widespread declines in soil P concentrations. To clarify the roles of ectomycorrhizal (EM) and saprotrophic (SAP) fungi in P cycling in forest soils that differ in ...
