One Hundred Years of the German Soil Science Society (DBG) 1926–2026: Origins, Facts, and Background of an Eventful History

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On its 100th anniversary in 2026, the German Soil Science Society (DBG) is looking back not only on an eventful history with traditions and impressive achievements but also with painful interruptions and ruptures. One curious fact is that the DBG was initially founded as the national section of the International Soil Science Society (ISSS ...

Shrubification of peatlands [PDF]

Science, 2020
Biogeography Soil is a key player in the global carbon cycle. Peatlands are important because they contain more than half of global soil carbon, much of which is sequestered in slow-decaying Sphagnum moss. Hence, there is a need to understand how peatlands will respond to the rapidly changing climate. Malhotra et al.

Temporal Dynamics of Soil Organic Carbon Contents in Long‐Term Monitored Arable Sites in Lower Saxony, Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temporal changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) contents in agricultural soils are variable, and underlying drivers are not sufficiently understood. Aim The objectives were to describe the long‐term dynamics of SOC contents at 41 sites in Lower Saxony, Germany, and to analyze the relationships between estimated long‐term changes of ...

Temperature Sensitivity of the Humus Form Tangel

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tangel is an important humus form in mountain forests, particularly in areas of carbonate rock. To gain an initial understanding of its sensitivity to rising temperatures, a respiration experiment was conducted. The derived Q10 values (3.35–3.36) are comparatively high in relation to values reported in the literature, indicating that Tangel is

ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2011
Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year.

Forest or tundra? How different vegetation reconstructions of Last Glacial landscapes in Europe may shape our perception of early human dispersal processes

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional variability and long‐term changes of past ecosystems likely had a strong impact on hunter–gatherer population dynamics, including the expansion of anatomically modern humans and the disappearance of Neanderthals. However, our understanding of these ecosystems remains limited, even when looking at large‐scale patterns, such as the ...

Post‐Fire Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics: Decline and Recovery Over Two Decades

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfire can significantly alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in forest ecosystems, with complex temporal patterns following fire events. However, research on post‐fire SOC recovery remains limited, particularly in dry‐warm valley regions that are prone to frequent forest fires.

Shifting climate boundaries for European peatlands

Environmental Research Letters
Globally, peatlands store twice as much carbon as forests. Conservation of these ecosystems is vital in preventing the return of massive amounts of carbon to the atmosphere.
