The soil microbial community plays a key role in nutrient cycling, affecting access of roots to P, as well as mobilization and mineralization of organic P (Porg). This thesis aimed to better understand the potential of cover crops to enhance plant-soil-microbe interactions to improve the availability of P. This dissertation consists of a meta-analysis of and two field experiments. The used methods showed that microbial P, the activity of P-cycling enzymes and PLFAs increased under cover crops, indicating an enhanced potential for organic P cycling. Gram- positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and to a lesser extent also arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, increased their abundance with cover crops. However, saprotrophic fungi could benefit most from the substrate input derived from cover crop roots or litter. Enzyme-stable Porg shifted towards pools of a greater lability in the active soil compartments (rhizosheath and detritusphere). The effects of agricultural management, such as cover crop species choice and tillage, were detectable, but weaker compared to the effect of the presence of cover crops. With the obtained results, the research aims of this thesis could be successfully addressed. We were able to confirm that cover crops have the potential to improve main crops\u0092 access to P. Furthermore, we presented and discussed three pathways of P benefit. In the plant biomass pathway, P is cycled through cover crop biomass and becomes available for the main crop upon litter decomposition. The microbial enhancement pathway describes how the cover crop\u0092s interaction with soil microbes increases their abundance and activity, thereby increasing the availability of Porg. Some cover crop species seem to be capable of utilizing a biochemical modification pathway, where changes in the sorption capacity of the soil result in a greater quantity of plant-available phosphate. However, the latter pathway was apparently not important in the crop rotations used in our field experiments. The data also allowed us to characterize ways in which plant-soil-microbe interactions under cover crops affected the relationship of soil microbial functions to the enzymatic availability of Porg pools. Cover crops increased the abundance and activity of microbes, especially fungi, as well as microbial P. This enhancement in P-cycling potential shifted Porg toward pools of greater availability to added enzymes. However, the relation between enzymes and Porg pools is complex and is possibly affected by soil P composition and other site characteristics, indicating the need for further research in this area. Finally, we elucidated how the choice of cover crop species and agricultural management can shift the relative importance of the pathways for the P benefit of the main crop, while site-specific management allows farmers to adapt to local conditions and to optimize the functions of their agroecosystems. In conclusion, our results indicate that the pathways of cover crop derived P benefit take place simultaneously. We confirmed the potential of cover crop biomass for the cycling of P, and we suggest that our observed increases in the availability of soil Porg are related to microbial abundance and activity. The interactions of cover cropping and tillage indicate also that P benefit can be optimized by management decisions. Finally, these new insights into soil phosphorus cycling in agroecosystems have the potential to support further development of more sustainable agricultural systems. Phosphor (P) ist einer der wichtigsten limitierenden Naehrstoffe fuer das Pflanzenwachstum in der Landwirtschaft. Bodenmikroben spielen eine Schluesselrolle in Naehrstoffkreislaeufen, beeinflussen das Wachstum von Pflanzenwurzeln, die Mobilisierung sowie die Mineralisierung von organischem P (Porg) und somit den Zugang zu P. Das Ziel dieser Dissertation war die Einschaetzung des Potentials von Zwischenfruechten zur Verbesserung der Interaktionen im System Pflanze-Boden-Mikroben und einer dadurch moeglichen Steigerung der P-Verfuegbarkeit fuer die Hauptfruechte.  Diese Dissertation umfasst drei wissenschaftliche Veroeffentlichungen: Eine Literaturrecherche und Meta-Analyse sowie zwei selbst durchgefuehrte Feldexperimente. Die verwendeten Methoden zeigten, dass Zwischenfruechte den P-Gehalt in der mikrobiellen Biomasse, die Aktivitaet von Phosphatasen und mikrobielle Fettsaeuremarker (PLFAs) erhoehen, was auf ein gesteigertes Umsatzpotential von organischen Phosphorverbindungen hindeutet. Die Abundanz von grampositiven und gramnegativen Bakterien, sowie in geringerem Umfang auch von arbuskulaeren Mykorrhizapilzen, wurde durch Zwischenfruechte erhoeht. Gleichwohl waren saprotrophe Bodenpilze die mikrobielle Gruppe, die am meisten von der Substratzufuhr der Wurzeln und Streu profitieren konnte. Stabiles P wurde in den aktiven Bodenzonen der Rhizosphaere und Detritusphaere in labilere Porg-Pools transformiert. Bewirtschaftungseffekte, wie die Wahl der Zwischenfrucht oder Bodenbearbeitung, waren erkennbar, aber wesentlich schwaecher ausgepraegt als der Zwischenfruchteffekt insgesamt.  Unsere Ergebnisse bestaetigen, dass Zwischenfruchtanbau zur Steigerung der P - Verfuegbarkeit fuer die Hauptfrucht fuehren kann. Darueber hinaus konnten wir fuer den P- Vorteil drei grundsaetzliche Wirkungspfade aufzeigen, die in aktiven Bodenraeumen stattfinden. UEber den Wirkungspfad \u0084Pflanzenbiomasse\u0093 wird P aus dem Boden in die Biomasse der Zwischenfrucht aufgenommen und waehrend der Zersetzung der Streu fuer die Hauptfrucht verfuegbar. UEber den Wirkungspfad \u0084mikrobielle Verstaerkung\u0093 steigert die Zwischenfrucht im Wurzelraum die Biomasse und Aktivitaet der mikrobiellen Gemeinschaft, wodurch diese die Verfuegbarkeit von Porg erhoehen kann. Durch den Wirkungspfad \u0084biochemische Modifikation\u0093 scheinen manche Zwischenfruchtarten in der Lage zu sein, ueber Wurzelexsudate die P-Sorption im Boden zu senken und dadurch den Anteil an pflanzenverfuegbarem Phosphat zu erhoehen.  Weiterhin ermoeglichen die erhobenen Daten die Diskussion, inwiefern mikrobielle Funktionen und die Mineralisierbarkeit von Porg zusammenhaengen und wie die Interaktionen von Pflanzen beeinflusst werden. Zwischenfruechte steigerten sowohl die Abundanz und Aktivitaet von Mikroben, als auch die Menge an P in der mikrobiellen Biomasse. Diese Potentialsteigerung des P-Kreislaufs steigerte die Verfuegbarkeit des Porg fuer zugefuegte Enzyme. Es muss bedacht werden, dass die Rueckkopplungen zwischen Enzymaktivitaet und verschiedenen Porg-Pools komplex sind. Diese haengen von den lokalen Eigenschaften des Bodens, wie etwa der Zusammensetzung des P-Vorrats, ab und sollten durch zukuenftige Studien geklaert werden.  Drittens zeigen unsere Untersuchungen, wie die Wahl der Zwischenfrucht und die der Bewirtschaftung (z.B. Bodenbearbeitung oder Fruchtfolge) die relative Gewichtung der verschiedenen Pfade des P-Vorteils fuer die Hauptfrucht beeinflussen. Standortangepasste Zwischenfruchtsysteme erlauben es Landwirt:innen, die Funktionen ihres Agrooekosystems hinsichtlich der lokalen Bedingungen zu optimieren.  Zusammenfassend bestaetigen unsere Ergebnisse, dass der P-Bedarf der Hauptfrucht ueber die Biomasse der Zwischenfrucht gedeckt werden kann und zeigen auf, dass die charakterisierten drei Pfade des P-Vorteils durch Zwischenfruchtanbau parallel stattfinden.

Das Dokument darf zum eigenen Gebrauch kostenfrei genutzt, aber nicht im Internet bereitgestellt oder an Au\u00dfenstehende weitergegeben werden.Soils are currently a sink for atmospheric C, but may become a source in the coming decades. Predicting future gains or losses in soil C will require quantifying the time scales on which C cycles through soils, as well as deepening our understanding of the mechanisms controlling these cycling rates. Global patterns of soil C stocks and the radiocarbon (14C) signature of bulk soil C (\u220614Cbulk) establish temperature as a master control on soil C ages and accumulation rates. Yet emerging understanding underscores the importance of mineral control for both soil C cycling rates and the temperature sensitivity of decomposition. The central aim of this dissertation is to quantify the time scales of soil C cycling on which mineralogical controls are relevant and the influence of the soil mineral assemblage on the responses of soil C ages and transit times to climate. Radiocarbon is a sensitive tracer for quantifying time scales of soil C cycling. The mean age of soil C can be constrained with observations of \u220614Cbulk, but the 14C signature of heterotrophically respired CO2 (\u220614Crespired) adds a powerful constraint on the age of C returning to the atmosphere i.e., soil C transit time. Incubating archived soils would enable the construction of time series of \u220614Crespired, substantially reducing uncertainty from observations at single point in time. The objective of the first study in this dissertation (Ch. 2) is to assess the feasibility of measuring \u220614Crespired in archived soils by quantifying potential biases caused by air-drying, rewetting, and storage of soils prior to incubation. Results indicate storage has a negligible impact, but air-drying and rewetting leads to a small increase in the relative contribution of older C to respiration. However, the absolute bias in \u220614Crespired from air-drying and rewetting was minimal (\u00b112\u2030 to \u00b140\u2030), suggesting that constructing time series of \u220614Crespired from incubations of archived soils is promising as long as soils undergo the same air-drying and rewetting procedure. In Ch. 3 of this dissertation, I compare the distribution and change over time in \u220614Cbulk and \u220614Crespired among soils developed on different parent materials (andesite, basalt, granite) but with similar mean annual soil temperature (MAST) and climate regime (warm ~ 12.0 \u00b0C, cool ~ 8.6 \u00b0C, cold ~ 6.6 \u00b0C) using archived soils. The results provide new evidence that mineral assemblages: 1) mediate climatic control of soil C turnover, and 2) are relevant for C cycling on annual to decadal time scales as well as centennial and longer. Furthermore, the effect of MAST on the change observed in \u220614Crespired over time was only significant in the soils with the lowest content of poorly crystalline metal (oxy) hydroxide (PCM) content, implying that soil organic matter interactions with these minerals may attenuate temperature sensitivity of soil C ages and transit times. Determining ages and transit times of soil C requires the use of a model. In Ch. 4 of this dissertation (Ch. 4) I demonstrate how time series of \u220614Crespired and 14Cbulk can be used to constrain soil C models using the data from Ch. 3. Different two-pool model structures yielded similar estimates for soil C ages, transit times, and inputs, indicating that 14Crespired and 14Cbulk are robust constraints for such a system. Trends in mean ages and transit times with respect to climatic and mineralogical factors were similar to those in \u220614Cbulk and \u220614Crespired, respectively. However, the models also yield probability distributions of age and transit time. The distributions reveal that in some soils, such as those with abundant PCMs, small amounts of highly \u220614C-depleted C can bias estimates of the mean, potentially leading to overestimates of ages or transit times. Modeled estimates of the pre-aging of soil C inputs show an increase with depth, adding to the growing recognition that observed increases in 14C age with depth may not be due solely to slower turnover, but also vertical transport. The central theme of this dissertation is that mineral-associated soil organic matter is not a homogenous pool, and in soils consisting of a wide range of soil mineral assemblages, consists of C cycling on time scales ranging from annual to millennial. Furthermore, ages and transit times of C in the PCM-rich soils of this study were less sensitive to temperature than in PCM-poor soils, highlighting the importance of accounting for mineral assemblages in predicting the effect of rising temperatures on soil C stocks.", "keywords": ["ddc:500", "Radiokohlenstoff", "Inkubation im Boden", "soil carbon cycling", "radiocarbon", "Kohlenstoffkreislauf im Boden", "soil incubation"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Beem-Miller, Jeffrey Prescott", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/oai:www.repo.uni-hannover.de:123456789/15541"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "oai:www.repo.uni-hannover.de:123456789/15541", "name": "item", "description": "oai:www.repo.uni-hannover.de:123456789/15541", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/oai:www.repo.uni-hannover.de:123456789/15541"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2023-10-20T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1002/hyp.14451", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-06-26T16:15:11Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2021-12-11", "title": "Hydrological responses to rainfall events including the extratropical cyclone Gloria in two contrasting Mediterranean headwaters in Spain; the perennial font del Reg\u00e0s and the intermittent Fuirosos", "description": "Abstract<p>Catchment hydrological responses to precipitation inputs, particularly during exceptionally large storms, are complex and variable, and our understanding of the associated runoff generation processes during those events is limited. Hydrological monitoring of climatically and hydrologically distinct catchments can help to improve this understanding by shedding light on the interplay between antecedent soil moisture conditions, hydrological connectivity, and rainfall event characteristics. This knowledge is urgently needed considering that both the frequency and magnitude of extreme precipitation events are increasing worldwide as a consequence of climate change. In autumn 2018, we installed water level sensors to monitor stream water and near\uffe2\uff80\uff90stream groundwater levels at two Mediterranean forest headwater catchments with contrasting hydrological regimes: Font del Reg\uffc3\uffa0s (sub\uffe2\uff80\uff90humid climate, perennial flow regime) and Fuirosos (semi\uffe2\uff80\uff90arid climate, intermittent flow regime).

We explain these divergences by differences in antecedent soil moisture conditions and associated differences in catchment hydrological connectivity between the two catchments, which in this case are likely driven by differences in local climate rather than by differences in local topography. In contrast, during events of moderate and high mean rainfall intensities, including the storm Gloria, precipitation inputs and hydrological responses correlated similarly in the two catchments. We explain this convergence by rapid development of hydrological connectivity independently of antecedent soil moisture conditions. The data set presented here is unique and contributes to our mechanistic understanding on how streams respond to rainfall events and exceptionally large storms in catchments with contrasting flow regimes.</p>", "keywords": ["info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/550", "550", "ddc:550", "rainfall intensity", "climate extreme", "15.

Recently, interest in their role in permafrost regions is increasing as permafrost was identified as a hotspot of change. In thawing ice\uffe2\uff80\uff90rich permafrost regions, such as the Yedoma domain, 327\uffe2\uff80\uff93466 Gt of frozen OC is buried in deep sediments. Interactions between minerals and OC are important because OC is located very near the mineral matrix. Mineral surfaces and elements could mitigate recent and future greenhouse gas emissions through physical and/or physicochemical protection of OC. The dynamic changes in redox and pH conditions associated with thermokarst lake formation and drainage trigger metal\uffe2\uff80\uff90oxide dissolution and precipitation, likely influencing OC stabilization and microbial mineralization. However, the influence of thermokarst processes on mineral\uffe2\uff80\uff93OC interactions remains poorly constrained. In this study, we aim to characterize Fe, Mn, Al, and Ca minerals and their potential protective role for OC. Total and selective extractions were used to assess the crystalline and amorphous oxides or complexed metal pools as well as the organic acids found within these pools. We analyzed four sediment cores from an ice\uffe2\uff80\uff90rich permafrost area in Central Yakutia, which were drilled (i) in undisturbed Yedoma uplands, (ii) beneath a recent lake formed within Yedoma deposits, (iii) in a drained thermokarst lake basin, and (iv) beneath a mature thermokarst lake from the early Holocene period. We find a decrease in the amount of reactive Fe, Mn, Al, and Ca in the deposits on lake formation (promoting reduction reactions), and this was largely balanced by an increase in the amount of reactive metals in the deposits on lake drainage (promoting oxidation reactions). We demonstrate an increase in the metal to C molar ratio on thermokarst process, which may indicate an increase in metal\uffe2\uff80\uff93C bindings and could provide a higher protective role against microbial mineralization of organic matter. Finally, we find that an increase in mineral\uffe2\uff80\uff93OC interactions corresponded to a decrease in CO2 and CH4 gas emissions on thermokarst process. Mineral\uffe2\uff80\uff93OC interactions could mitigate greenhouse gas production from permafrost thaw as soon as lake drainage occurs.</p", "keywords": ["Yedoma", "ddc:550", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "15.

In the Czech Republic, soils are threatened primarily by water and wind erosion, but compaction, loss of organic matter, loss of soil structure stability, pollution and over-fertilization, loss of biodiversity, and soil sealing are also major concerns. Poor soil health results in many off-site effects such as surface water siltation, groundwater pollution, loss of biodiversity in the countryside, and decreasing crop yields. The Czech agricultural landscape is characterized by large fields with a very small number of interrupting elements such as furrows, paths, or balks and the crop structure is rather uniform. The state has a history of land collectivization which first took place during the twentieth century. The ongoing intensive and unsustainable industrial farming, which is often focused more on high yields of certain economically valuable crops rather than the environment, speeds up soil degradation. These problems are fortunately recognized by the stakeholders, legal authorities, and the public. There has been significant debate on sustainable landscape management and agricultural practices, and many positive examples already exist in the Czech Republic.</p", "keywords": ["2.

Different growth conditions and silvicultural treatments lead to an increased scatter in strength compared to what is expected from monoculture experience. The study (i) quantified the magnitude of variation in strength of European beech timber from stands of different composition and (ii) showed the impact of grading on the characteristic strength value of timber coming from those stands. Strength grading models and machine settings for hardwood tensile classes on over 900 European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) boards were derived. One model used only the dynamic modulus of elasticity (Edyn), and a more complex model used a knot value in addition. Afterwards, 407 boards from pure beech stands as well as mixed stands of beech with Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.), and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) were graded and analyzed for their material properties from tension tests parallel to grain. Although a variance components analysis attributed only 4.2% of the variation to mixture, the ungraded timber showed significant strength differences between the pure and the beech-pine stands (65.2 versus 46.6\uffc2\uffa0MPa). The yield of the material graded to the highest class in a class combination was higher in pure beech stands. The required characteristic strength values were mostly met for boards from the pure stands; while boards from the beech-pine mixed stands hardly ever reached the required values. To reduce strength variation and guarantee reliable timber products, strength grading should consider the various growth situations in forests when sampling material for the derivation of settings.</p>", "keywords": ["690", "0106 biological sciences", "Original ; Wood Science & Technology ; Ceramics", " Glass", " Composites", " Natural Materials ; Manufacturing", " Machines", " Tools", " Processes", "ddc:630", "0401 agriculture", " forestry", " and fisheries", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "15.

However, it remains difficult to predict potential C storage under a given soil or management practice. To study C storage dynamics due to long-term (1952\uffe2\uff80\uff932009) phosphorus (P) fertilizer and irrigation treatments in New Zealand grasslands, we measured radiocarbon (14C) in archived soil along with observed changes in C stocks to constrain a compartmental soil model. Productivity increases from P application and irrigation in these trials resulted in very similar C accumulation rates between 1959 and 2009. The \uffe2\uff88\uff8614C changes over the same time period were similar in plots that were both irrigated and fertilized, and only differed in a non-irrigated fertilized plot. Model results indicated that decomposition rates of fast cycling C (0.1 to 0.2\uffc2\uffa0year\uffe2\uff88\uff921) increased to nearly offset increases in inputs. With increasing P fertilization, decomposition rates also increased in the slow pool (0.005 to 0.008\uffc2\uffa0year\uffe2\uff88\uff921). Our findings show sustained, significant (i.e. greater than 4 per mille) increases in C stocks regardless of treatment or inputs. As the majority of fresh inputs remain in the soil for less than 10\uffc2\uffa0years, these long term increases reflect dynamics of the slow pool. Additionally, frequent irrigation was associated with reduced stocks and increased decomposition of fresh plant material. Rates of C gain and decay highlight trade-offs between productivity, nutrient availability, and soil C sequestration as a climate change mitigation strategy.</p", "keywords": ["Soil modeling", "Carbon sequestration", "2.

Forests Stocking On Calcareous Soils", "description": "The effect of forest management (thinning) on in situ carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) trace gas exchange between soil and atmosphere was studied in three consecutive years at three beech forest sites, which differ in aspect [southwest (SW), northeast (NE), northwest (NW)]. At all sites adjacent thinning plots (\u201cT\u201d) and untreated control plots (\u201cC\u201d) were established. Measurements at the SW and NE sites covered the years 4\u20136 after thinning while at the NW site measurements covered the year before and the first 2\u00a0years after thinning. Mean N2O fluxes were\u00a0<3\u00a0\u03bcg\u00a0N2O\u2013N\u00a0m\u22122\u00a0h\u22121 at all plots except for the newly thinned NWT plot. CH4 uptake was rather low, too. Very low CH4 oxidation rates during dry periods are explained by physiological drought stress for CH4 oxidizers. Heterotrophic litter decomposition constitutes the largest part of total soil respiration. On the whole, no significant positive or negative effects of the silvicultural treatment on the magnitude of CO2-, CH4- and N2O-trace gas exchange could be observed at the SW site 4\u20136\u00a0years after thinning. Also at the NE site, no effects of thinning on CO2 and N2O fluxes could be demonstrated. However, at this site a significant moisture-induced lower CH4 uptake could be shown. At the NW site forest management led to a dramatic increase in N2O emissions in the first two summers after thinning and to distinct effects on CO2 emissions and CH4 uptake in the first year after the felling. The unambiguous effects of thinning at the NW site are mainly related to higher C input by dead residues leading to enhanced mineralization activity, to a shift in the competition for nutrients favoring microorganisms as compared to trees and to changes in the soil water availability at the thinned plot. Considering the data obtained from the NE and SW site we expect that with the development of an understorey vegetation at the NW site the observed effects on the magnitude of trace gas exchange due to thinning will continue to decline in the following years. Our results implicate that it is indispensable to take account of the effects of forest management in order to accurately calculate trace gas emission inventories for the investigated forest ecosystem in case thinning took place immediately before.", "keywords": ["580", "Earth sciences", "570", "info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/550", "550", "ddc:550", "13.

Decrease in soil organic carbon is often suggested as a reason for such trends. A field experiment was conducted to study the soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) dynamics in the rice-wheat systems. Use of organic amendments and puddling of soil before rice transplanting increased SOC and MBC contents. Microbial biomass carbon showed a seasonal pattern. It was low initially, reached its peak during the flowering stages in both rice and wheat and declined thereafter.

In order to assess GHG burdens and to identify options of climate-optimized livestock farming, GHG emissions of sheep grazing in Inner Mongolia steppe were analyzed. Carbon sequestration and field-fluxes of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) were measured at a range of steppe sites differing in grazing intensity and management, i.e. ungrazed (UG), ungrazed with hay cutting (HC), lightly grazed (LG), moderately grazed (MG), and heavily grazed (HG). In addition, GHG emissions from enteric fermentation, manure management, and farming inputs (i.e. fossil fuels) were quantified for LG, MG, and HG. Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate uncertainty. Sheep grazing changed the net GHG balance of the steppe from a significant sink at UG (\u22121476 \u00b1 2481 kg CO2eq ha\u22121 year\u22121) to a significant source at MG (2350 \u00b1 1723 kg CO2eq ha\u22121 year\u22121) and HG (3115 \u00b1 2327 kg CO2eq ha\u22121 year\u22121). In a similar way, the GHG intensity increased from 8.6 \u00b1 79.2 kg CO2eq kg\u22121 liveweight gain at LG up to 62.2 \u00b1 45.8 and 62.6 \u00b1 46.7 kg CO2eq kg\u22121 liveweight gain at MG and HG, respectively. GHG balances were predominantly determined by CO2 from changes in topsoil organic carbon. In grazing systems, CH4 from enteric fermentation was the second most important component. The results suggest that sheep grazing under the current management changes this steppe ecosystem from a sink to a source of GHGs and that grazing exclusion holds large potential to restore soil organic carbon stocks and thus to sequester atmospheric CO2. The balance between grazing intensity and grazing exclusion predominantly determines GHG balances of grass-based sheep farming in this region. Therefore, a high proportion of ungrazed land is most important for reducing GHG balances of sheep farms. This can be either achieved by high grazing intensity on the remaining grazed land or by confined hay feeding of sheep.", "keywords": ["2.

The global warming potential (GWP) of the non-flooded crops was lower compared to flooded rice, whereas high CH4 emissions under flooded conditions still override enhanced N2O emissions in the upland systems.

At all sites adjacent thinning plots (\u201cT\u201d) and untreated control plots (\u201cC\u201d) were established. Since the sites are characterized either by cool-moist microclimate (NE site and NW site) or by warm-dry microclimate (SW site) and thinning took place in the year 1999 at the NE and SW sites and in the year 2003 at the NW site the experimental design allowed to evaluate (1) short-term effects (years 1\u20132) of thinning at the NW site and (2) medium-term effects (years 4\u20136) of thinning under different microclimate at the SW and NE site. Microbial biomass N was consistently higher at the thinning plots of all sites during most of the field campaigns and was overall significantly higher at the SWT and NWT plots as compared to the corresponding untreated control plots. The size of the microbial biomass N pool was found to correlate positively with both gross ammonification and gross nitrification as well as with extractable soil NO                   3                   \u2212                  concentrations. At the SW site neither gross ammonification, gross nitrification, gross ammonium (NH                   4                   +                 ) immobilization and gross nitrate (NO                   3                   \u2212                 ) immobilization nor net ammonification, net nitrification and extractable NH                   4                   +                  and NO                   3                   \u2212                  contents were significantly different between control and thinning plot. At the NET plot lower gross ammonification and gross NH                   4                   +                  immobilization in conjunction with constant nitrification rates coincided with higher net nitrification and significantly higher extractable NO                   3                   \u2212                  concentrations. Thus, the medium-term effects of thinning varied with different microclimate. The most striking thinning effects were found at the newly thinned NW site, where gross ammonification and gross NH                   4                   +                  immobilization were dramatically higher immediately after thinning. However, they subsequently tended to decrease in favor of gross nitrification, which was significantly higher at the NWT plot as compared to\u2423the\u2423NWC plot during all field campaigns after\u2423thinning except for April 2004. This increase\u2423in\u2423gross nitrification at the NWT plot (1.73\u00a0mg\u00a0N\u00a0kg\u22121\u00a0sdw\u00a0day\u22121 versus 0.48\u00a0mg\u00a0N\u00a0kg\u22121 sdw\u00a0day\u22121 at the NWC plot) coincided with significantly higher extractable NO                   3                   \u2212                  concentrations (4.59\u00a0mg\u00a0N\u00a0kg\u22121 sdw at the NWT plot versus 0.96\u00a0mg\u00a0N\u00a0kg\u22121\u00a0sdw at the NWC plot). Pronounced differences in relative N retention (the ratio of gross NH                   4                   +                  immobilization + gross NO                   3                   \u2212                  immobilization to gross ammonification + gross nitrification) were found across the six research plots investigated and could be positively correlated to the soil C/N ratio (R\u00a0=\u00a00.94; p\u00a0=\u00a00.005). In sum, the results obtained in this study show that (1) thinning can lead to a shift in the balance of microbial inorganic N production and consumption causing a clear decrease in the N retention capacity in the monitored forest soils especially in the first two years after thinning, (2)\u2423the resistance of the investigated forest ecosystems to disturbances of N cycling by thinning may vary with different soil C contents and C/N ratios, e. g. caused by differences in microclimate, (3) thinning effects tend to decline with the growth of understorey vegetation in the years 4\u20136 after thinning.", "keywords": ["Earth sciences", "info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/550", "550", "ddc:550", "13.

Contradictory effects, however, were reported in previous studies. To investigate the effects of crop residue management on N2O emissions from rice-wheat rotation ecosystems, we conducted field experiments at three sites (Suzhou, Wuxi and Jiangdu) in the Yangtze River Delta, using static chamber and gas chromatography methods. Our data show that N2O emissions throughout the rice season from plots treated with wheat straw application at a high rate (WS) prior to rice transplanting (1.1\u20132.0 kg N ha\u22121) were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than those from the control plots without organic matter addition or added with wheat straw at a moderate rate (1.6\u20132.9 kg N ha\u22121). Furthermore, the WS treatments had a residual inhibitory effect on N2O emissions in the following non-rice season, which consistently resulted in significantly lower emissions (P < 0.05) compared to the control treatments (2.2\u20133.1 vs. 3.9\u20135.6 kg N ha\u22121). In comparison to the control treatments, the WS treatments reduced both the seasonal and annual direct emission factors of the applied nitrogen (EFd) by 50\u201368% (mean: 57%). The addition of compost (aerobically composted rice or wheat straw harvested in the last rotation) reduced the seasonal and annual EFds by 29\u201332%. Over the entire rice-wheat rotation cycle, annual N2O emissions from the fertilized fields at the three sites ranged from 3.3 \u00b1 0.3 to 16.8 \u00b1 0.6 kg N ha\u22121, with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 61%. Similarly, the EFds during the rice-wheat rotation cycle ranged from 0.4% to 2.5%, with a CV of 67%. These high spatial variations might have been related to: variations in soil properties, such as texture and soil organic carbon; management practices, such as straw treatments (i.e., compost versus fresh straw) and weather conditions, such as precipitation and rainfall distribution. Our results indicate that the incorporation of fresh wheat straw at a high rate during the rice season is an effective management practice for the mitigation of N2O emissions in rice-wheat rotation systems. Whether this practice is also effective in reducing the overall global warming potential of net N2O, CH4 and CO2 emissions needs to be seen through further studies.", "keywords": ["2.

Topsoil MBN was significantly different among the three patches with the highest value for soils taken from umixed grass patches. However, patches with mixed grass and herb or herb dominated patches had 12% higher microbial respiration (MR) than unmixed grass patch. Clipping and N addition had no effects on net N mineralization or MBC, but both treatments decreased MBN and MR and increased the ratio between microbial biomass C and microbial biomass N (MBC/MBN) in the growing season. Incubation of soil cores under optimal water and temperature conditions in the laboratory showed that the response of microbial N transformations in soils under different vegetation patches to experimental N addition and clipping was limited by soil water availability. Our results strongly highlight the need to further study the importance of belowground C supply as a control of microbial N cycling processes. It also suggests that during the restoration process of degenerated croplands N cycling rates are stimulated, but that the magnitude of this stimulation is modulated by plant community composition of the old-fields.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

A study at a Spanish dehesa has been carried out to estimate the spatial distribution of the soil organic carbon stock and to assess the influence of the tree cover. Methods The soil organic carbon stock was estimated from the five uppermost cm of the mineral soil with high spatial resolution at two plots with different grazing intensities. The Universal Kriging technique was used to assess the spatial distribution of the soil organic carbon stocks, using tree coverage within a buffering area as an auxiliary variable. Results A significant positive correlation between tree presence and soil organic carbon stocks up to distances of around 8 m from the trees was found. The tree crown cover within a buffer up to a distance similar to the crown radius around the point absorbed 30 % of the variance in the model for both grazing intensities, but residual variance showed stronger spatial autocorrelation under regular grazing conditions. Conclusions Tree cover increases soil organic carbon stocks, and can be satisfactorily estimated by means of crown parameters. However, other factors are involved in the spatial pattern of the soil organic carbon distribution. Livestock plays an interactive role together with tree presence in soil organic carbon distribution. \u00a9 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.", "keywords": ["2.

Cover crops constitute a promising management option for sustainable intensification of agriculture. However, their interactions with the soil microbial community, which is a key driver of P cycling, and their effects on the following crop, have not yet been systematically assessed. We conducted a meta-analysis of published field studies on cover crops and P cycling, focusing on plant-microbe interactions. We describe several distinct, simultaneous mechanisms of P benefits for the main crop. Decomposition dynamics, governed by P concentration, are critical for the transfer of P from cover crop residues to the main crop. Cover crops may enhance the soil microbial community by providing a legacy of increased mycorrhizal abundance, microbial biomass P, and phosphatase activity. Cover crops are generally most effective in systems low in available P, and may access \u2018unavailable\u2019 P pools. However, their effects on P availability are difficult to detect by standard soil P tests, except for increases after the use of Lupinus sp.

Although sediment fingerprinting has been applied with reasonable success, the deployment of this method remains associated with many issues and limitations.Seminars and debates were organised during a 4-day Thematic School in October 2021 to come up with concrete suggestions to improve the design and implementation of tracing methods.First, we suggest a better use of geomorphological information to improve study design. Researchers are invited to scrutinise all the knowledge available on the catchment of interest, and to obtain multiple lines of evidence regarding sediment source contributions. Second, we think that scientific knowledge could be improved with local knowledge and we propose a scale of participation describing different levels of involvement of locals in research. Third, we recommend the use of state-of-the-art sediment tracing protocols to conduct sampling, deal with particle size, and examine data before modelling and accounting for the hydro-meteorological context under investigation. Fourth, we promote best practices in modelling, including the importance of running multiple models, selecting appropriate tracers, and reporting on model errors and uncertainty. Fifth, we suggest best practices to share tracing data and samples, which will increase the visibility of the fingerprinting technique in geoscience. Sixth, we suggest that a better formulation of hypotheses could improve our knowledge about erosion and sediment transport processes in a more unified way.With the suggested improvements, sediment fingerprinting, which is interdisciplinary in nature, could play a major role to meet the current and future challenges associated with global change.The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11368-022-03203-1.", "keywords": ["[SDE] Environmental Sciences", "DATA", "550", "[SDU.STU.GM] Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Earth Sciences/Geomorphology", "[SDV.SA.SDS]Life Sciences [q-bio]/Agricultural sciences/Soil study", "01 natural sciences", "333", "source-to-sink", "basin", "local knowledge", "[SDU.STU.GC]Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Earth Sciences/Geochemistry", "[SDU.STU.GC] Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Earth Sciences/Geochemistry", "11.

Hundreds of experiments have manipulated biodiversity as an independent variable and found compelling support that the functioning of ecosystems increases with the diversity of their ecological communities. This research has also identified some of the mechanisms underlying BEF relationships, some context-dependencies of the strength of relationships, as well as implications for various ecosystem services that mankind depends upon. In this paper, we argue that a multitrophic perspective of biotic interactions in random and non-random biodiversity change scenarios is key to advance future BEF research and to address some of its most important remaining challenges. We discuss that the study and the quantification of multitrophic interactions in space and time facilitates scaling up from small-scale biodiversity manipulations and ecosystem function assessments to management-relevant spatial scales across ecosystem boundaries. We specifically consider multitrophic conceptual frameworks to understand and predict the context-dependency of BEF relationships. Moreover, we highlight the importance of the eco-evolutionary underpinnings of multitrophic BEF relationships. We outline that FAIR data (meeting the standards of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability) and reproducible processing will be key to advance this field of research by making it more integrative. Finally, we show how these BEF insights may be implemented for ecosystem management, society, and policy. Given that human well-being critically depends on the multiple services provided by diverse, multitrophic communities, integrating the approaches of evolutionary ecology, community ecology, and ecosystem ecology in future BEF research will be key to refine conservation targets and develop sustainable management strategies.", "keywords": ["580", "Biodiversity change", "0301 basic medicine", "570", "0303 health sciences", "Geography & travel", "577", "Food web", "Spatial scaling", "910", "15.

The effect of grazing cessation versus intensive and moderate grazing on vegetation diversity was studied on small (plant species richness on plots between 0.01 and 100\u00a0m2) and large scale (vegetation type richness per hectare) over 18 to 20 years by analysing data from long-term monitoring programs. Plant species richness and vegetation type richness increased strongly over time in all management regimes, because grazing-sensitive species increased first in ungrazed marshes and later dispersed to and established in intensively grazed marshes. Dominance of the tall, late-successional grass Elymus athericus on 7% to 52% of all moderately and ungrazed (primarily high marsh) plots led to a decrease in species richness. After 18 to 20 years, species richness was highest in moderately and intensively grazed high marshes. Differences were significant only on small plots of up to 4\u00a0m2. On the large scale, vegetation type richness in the low marsh was higher without grazing, while no differences were found in the high marsh. Our results indicate that grazing effects differ between spatial scales and that different spatial scales have to be considered for monitoring and evaluation of vegetation diversity in salt marshes. To conserve vegetation diversity on all scales, a large-scale mosaic of different management regimes should be maintained.", "keywords": ["2.

However, it is still rare to find reports on the total N budgets of agricultural systems including all N fluxes in the literature. Here, we conducted a comprehensive study on the effects of different N fertilizers (control, synthetic fertilizer, 60% synthetic fertilizer N plus 40% pig manure N, pig manure N applied at the same rate of 280\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha\u22121 yr\u22121) on N pools, cycling processes, fluxes and total N balances in a subtropical wheat-maize rotation system in China by monitoring in situ N fluxes combined with field 15N-tracer and 15N isotope-dilution techniques. The warm and wet maize season was associated with significantly larger N losses via gaseous and hydrological pathways than the cooler and drier wheat season. Nitrate leaching and NH3 volatilization were the main N loss pathways, accounting for 78% and 93% of the annual hydrological and gaseous N losses, respectively. The field 15N tracing experiment showed that the wheat system had a high N retention capacity (\u223c50% of 15N application), although the N residence time was short. In the subsequent maize season, 90% of the residual 15N-labeled fertilizer in the soil that had been applied to the wheat system was utilized by plants or lost to the environment. The combined application of synthetic and organic fertilizers (pig manure) or application of pig manure resulted in significantly higher soil N retention and lower NO3\u2212 leaching, while yields remained unaffected. However, the application of manure resulted in larger NH3 volatilization losses compared with the application of synthetic fertilizer alone.

In this study the impact of GHG emissions from LUC on the overall GHG performance of 1st generation biofuels was analyzed for the European Union (EU). The scenario-based analysis was done by coupling a spatial land-use model to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of biofuels. The biofuel demand in the scenarios was derived from figures for the transport sector of the EU-27 Member States. The calculation of GHG emissions was performed with a Geographic Information System. Finally, these results were integrated into the LCA approach of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED). Without taking LUC into account, the average GHG emission saving compared to fossil fuel use amounts to \u223c50%. In this case the mandatory 35% emission saving target laid down in the RED would be fulfilled. If LUC is considered, this target is reached under none of the simulated biofuel scenarios. In the most realistic scenario the GHG emission savings from 1st gen. biofuel use compared to fossil fuel use range between \u22122% and 13%.

Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices (such as reduced tillage, no-tillage, cover crops, etc.,) have the potential to reduce soil, organic carbon (OC), and nutrient losses by erosion. However, the effectivity of these practices is site-dependent and varies under different rainfall conditions. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the effects of SLM practices   in two rainfed systems (a wheat field and an almond orchard) representative of a large area of the driest Mediterranean regions - on runoff, soil erosion, particle size distribution, and OC and nutrient (N and P) contents in sediments. The influence of the rainfall characteristics on the effectiveness of the SLM practices was also evaluated. The SLM implemented were: reduced tillage (RT) in the wheat field and almond orchard and reduced tillage combined with green manure (RTG) in the almond orchard; these were compared to conventional tillage, the usual practice in the area. Open erosion plots were set up to monitor the effects of SLM on soil carbon and nutrients and on soil erosion after each rainfall event over six years (2010 2016). The results show that the SLM practices evaluated resulted in increased organic carbon (OC) and nutrients (N and P) contents in the soil, and reduced runoff, erosion, and mobilization of organic carbon and nutrients in sediments. Reductions in runoff of 30% and 65% and decreases in erosion of 65 and 85% were found in the wheat field and almond orchards, respectively. In addition, the total OC, N, and P losses in the wheat field were reduced by 56%, 45%, and 64%, respectively, while in the almond field the OC, N, and P losses were reduced by 90% under RT and by 85% under RTG. The beneficial effect of the SLM practices on soil erosion was observed within 18 months of their implementation and continued throughout the six years of the study. Furthermore, the effectiveness of tillage reduction with respect to erosion control and carbon and nutrients mobilization was highest during the most intense rainfall events, which are responsible for the highest erosion rates in Mediterranean areas. Our results support the key role of SLM practices under semiarid conditions as useful tools for climate change mitigation and adaptation, given the expected increase in high-intensity rainfall events in semiarid areas. \u00a9 2019 The Authors This study site has been funded by several national (CYCIT AGL201125069//CICYT AGL2010-20941//CGL2013-42009-R//CGL2014-55-405-R), Regional (S\u00e9neca Foundation: 08757/PI/08//19350/PI/14), and European Commission H2020 (F6 DG RTD 037046 and Grant 728003, DIVERFARMING projects).

Changes in the NPs surface charge property and resulting stability were investigated by considering pH-dependent electrostatic scenarios and contrasting solution conditions from ultra-pure water to more complex biological mixtures regarding the ionic and protein composition. After careful characterization of NPs and BSA as a function of pH, we used variable BSA concentrations to study the impact of BSA adsorption and we found that protein affinity for NPs was largely controlled by electrostatic interactions. We demonstrated that in ultra-pure water increasing gradually the BSA concentration results in aggregation when BSA and NPs charges are opposite (charge neutralization). On the other hand, when NPs were added in a solution containing BSA, aggregation was prevented due to corona formation. Then, the ultrapure water was replaced by Dulbecco\u2019s phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS) to mimic the blood composition and ionic strength. BSA was then replaced by fetal calf serum (FCS) to mimic the great variety of proteins and other biomolecules found in the blood. Our findings indicate that, in all cases, initially dispersed TiO2 or CeO2 NPs are stabilized by the presence of proteins and that protein adsorption is fast regarding NPs homoaggregation.

Soil health was also assessed using soil macroinvertebrate abundance and diversity. Sixteen fields were evaluated, 6 of which had been exposed to more than 5 years of compost application, 5 were exposed to at least 5 years of plastic mulch use, and 5 were not exposed to any specific management (controls) within the last 5 years. We also evaluated the spread of microplastics from the farms into nearby water bodies and airborne dust. We found 11 types of microplastics in soil, among which Light Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Light Density Polyethylene covered with pro-oxidant additives (PAC) were the most abundant. The highest concentrations of plastics were found in soils exposed to plastic mulch management (128.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0320\u00a0MPs.g-1 soil and 224.84\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0488\u00a0MPs.g-1 soil, respectively) and the particles measured from 50 to 150\u00a0\u03bcm. Nine types of microplastics were found in water, with the highest concentrations observed in systems exposed to compost. Farms applying compost had higher LDPE and PAC concentrations in ditch sediments as compared to control and mulch systems; a significant correlation between soil polypropylene (PP) microplastics with ditch sediment microplastics (r2 0.7 p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) was found. LDPE, PAC, PE (Polyethylene), and PP were the most abundant microplastics in airborne dust. Soil invertebrates were scarce in the systems using plastic mulch.

Despite its crucial role, the region faces substantial environmental challenges like soil erosion and land degradation, necessitating the adoption of sustainable land management practices. The aim of this study was to investigate the determinants of the adoption of Soil and Water Conservation Practices (SWCPs) among smallholder farmers in central Kenya. Primary data was collected from three administrative wards of Tharaka Nithi County (TNC) using 150 semi-structured household (HH) questionnaires, Key Informant Interviews (KII), and field observations. STATA and Microsoft Office Excel software were used to analyse the HH survey data, using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and the binary logistic regression model. Qualitative data from the KII was analysed through synthesized text summaries. The results show that 65.33 % of the respondents adopted SWCPs on their farms, while 34.67 % did not at the time of our study. The study findings further revealed that farm size (\u03b2\u00a0\u200b=\u00a0\u200b0.641; p\u00a0\u200b<\u00a0\u200b0.05), and Agro-ecological zone (AEZ) (\u03b2\u00a0\u200b=\u00a0\u200b1.341; p\u00a0\u200b<\u00a0\u200b0.05) positively influenced the adoption of SWCPs.

Challenges in SWCPs implementation included inadequate capital (76.53 %), high labor costs (62.24 %), lack of technical knowledge (34.69 %), lack of infrastructure (17.35 %), and insecure land tenure (1.02 %). These study findings hold the potential to guide the TNC government in formulating tailored strategies that can foster the adoption and sustainable implementation of SWCPs among smallholder farmers.

In order to fill in this knowledge gap, we conducted a three-year experiment comparing two production systems: traditional paddy (Paddy) and GCRPS combined with two nitrogen fertilizer regimes (0, 150\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha \u22121 ). The parameters investigated were root dry matter, length density and surface area at maximum tillering and flowering stage as well as grain yield and water use efficiency. Our study revealed the following findings: 1) Root dry matter, root length density and surface area were significantly higher in GCRPS than in Paddy at all soil depths. 2) Across the production systems, root dry matter, root length density and surface area at soil depth of 0\u201340\u00a0cm at flowering stage were significant positively correlated to grain yield and total water use efficiency which suggested that improved root morphology traits, especially at flowering stage, contribute to higher grain yield and water use efficiency in GCRPS. Our results show that GCRPS has a positive effect on the development of rice roots and that the improved root development is of vital importance for higher yields. Furthermore, the improved root development in GCRPS may avoid potential lodging phenomena and increase soil organic carbon stocks, thus improving key soil functions.", "keywords": ["2.

Increasing tree cover is considered a practical means of increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) contents. However, few field studies have been carried out in the eastern part of the Sahel zone to test this hypothesis. In this study the C stocks in biomass and soil were determined in Acacia senegal plantations of varying age (7\u201324\u00a0years) and adjacent open grasslands in two locations in Sudan. The contribution of C3 plants to SOC was estimated using a simple \u03b413C partitioning model. Total biomass C stocks increased with plantation age, reaching 1020\u00a0g\u00a0m\u22122. While most of this increase was due to the trees, the C stock of the ground vegetation also increased with plantation age and was greater in the oldest plantations than in the open grassland. This finding supports the hypothesis that trees facilitate ground vegetation in semi-arid environments. Plantation SOC stocks (0\u201350\u00a0cm) ranged from 846 to 1250\u00a0g\u00a0m\u22122, increased with age and were greater than open grassland values (867\u2013950\u00a0g\u00a0m\u22122). The contribution of C3 plants (trees and herbs) to plantation under canopies SOC stocks (0\u201310\u00a0cm) was 47.2% and 53.4% at the two sites.

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a standard approach to detect and quantify ARGs in environmental compartments. However, the comparison of gene quantification reported by different laboratories is challenging since data are predominantly obtained under non- harmonized conditions, using different qPCR protocols. Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and calibrate standardized qPCR procedures for quantification of key ARGs, analyzing the same samples with common protocols and distinct equipment, reagents batches and operators. Methods: Treated wastewater from three European countries were processed immediately after collection and transported to the laboratory for total DNA extraction. DNA extracts from each sample were pooled and aliquots were distributed by five partners involved in the calibration procedure. The genes 16S rRNA, vanA, blaTEM, qnrS, sul1, blaCTXM-32 and intI1 were analyzed using harmonized qPCR protocols and the constructed pNORM1 plasmid, which contains fragments of the seven targeted genes, was used for generating standard curves. Conclusions: The 16S rRNA gene was the most abundant, followed by sul1, intI1, qnrS and blaTEM. Quantifications made by different partners were reproducible and inter-laboratory variation was &lt; 20%. The notorious exception was for the qnrS gene, and therefore protocol improvement is recommended. The genes blaCTXM-32 and vanA were below the limit of quantification in most or all of the samples analyzed. The inter-laboratory calibration is an adequate approach to reliably assess ARG abundance and environmental contamination in different environments and geographic locations.", "keywords": ["Life sciences; biology", "info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/570", "0301 basic medicine", "570", "biology", "Inter-laboratory calibration", "Antibiotic resistance gene", "Wastewater", "Life sciences", "01 natural sciences", "6.

Here, we did a preliminary exploration on the potential of Lumbricus terrestris (Oligochaeta) to reduce low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polylactic acid (PLA), and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) microplastic (20-648\u00a0\u00b5m) contamination in soils. The ingestion of microplastics-contaminated soil (1% of microplastics, dw/dw) in a mesocosm system and the ingestion of pure microplastics in the Petri Dish by earthworms were studied. Results show that earthworms survived in the microplastics-contaminated soil (0% mortality in 35 days) but barely when exposed solely to microplastics (30-80% mortality in 4 days). Size-dependent ingestion of microplastics was not observed. The fragmentation of LDPE microplastics in the gizzard facilitated by soil was confirmed by the significantly increased ratio of small-sized (20-113\u00a0\u00b5m) microplastics from the bulk soil to the gut (from 8.4% to 18.8%). PLA and PBAT microplastics were fragmented by gizzard without the facilitation of soil, the ratios of small-sized (20-113\u00a0\u00b5m) PLA and PBAT microplastics in the gut were 55.5% and 108.2% higher than in respective pristine distributions. Substantial depolymerization of PLA (weight-average molar mass reduced by 17.7% with shift in molecular weight distribution) and suspected depolymerization of PBAT were observed in the worm gut, while no change in the molar mass was observed for PLA and PBAT microplastics buried in the soil for 49 days. Our results suggest that ingested microplastics could undergo fragmentation and depolymerization (for certain polymers) in the earthworm gut. Further research is needed to reveal the mechanisms of polymer depolymerization in the earthworm gut and to evaluate the feasibility of microplastic bioremediation with earthworms.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "ddc:550", "Microplastics", "Polyesters", "01 natural sciences", "Soil", "03 medical and health sciences", "Biodegradation", " Environmental", "Polyethylene", "Life Science", "Animals", "Soil Pollutants", "Oligochaeta", "Plastics", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.130765"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Journal%20of%20Hazardous%20Materials", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.130765", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.130765", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.130765"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2023-04-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133772", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"license": "Open Access", "updated": "2026-06-26T16:18:03Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2024-02-10", "title": "Experimental and simulated microplastics transport in saturated natural sediments: Impact of grain size and particle size", "description": "Microplastics (MPs) present in terrestrial environments show potential leaching risk to deeper soil layers and aquifer systems, which threaten soil health and drinking water supply. However, little is known about the environmental fate of MPs in natural sediments. To examine the MPs transport mechanisms in natural sediments, column experiments were conducted using different natural sediments and MPs (10-150\u00a0\u00b5m) with conservative tracer. Particle breakthrough curves (BTCs) and retention profiles (RPs) were numerically interpreted in HYDRUS-1D using three different models to identify the most plausible deposition mechanism of MPs. Results show that the retention efficiency for a given particle size increased with decreasing grain size, and RPs exacerbated their hyper-exponential shape in finer sediments. Furthermore, the amounts of MPs present in the effluent increased to over 85 % as MPs size decreased to 10-20\u00a0\u00b5m in both gravel and coarse sand columns, while all larger MPs (125-150\u00a0\u00b5m) were retained in the coarse sand column. The modeling results suggested that the blocking mechanism becomes more important with increasing particle sizes. In particular, the attachment-detachment without blocking was the most suited parameterization to interpret the movement of small MPs, while a depth-dependent blocking approach was necessary to adequately describe the fate of larger particles.", "keywords": ["2.
