Long‐term agricultural field experiments are essential for quantifying changes in soil
properties and associated crop productivity that occur slowly but continue over long periods …

The ratio of soil organic carbon stock (SOC) to annual carbon input gives an estimate of the
mean residence time of organic carbon that enters the soil (MRTOC). It indicates how …

Saturated hydraulic conductivity (K) is a key property for evaluating soil water movement and
quality. Most studies on spatial variability of K have been performed soil at a field or smaller …

Grass-clover leys in crop rotations on dairy farms may contribute to mitigation of climate
change through soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, accurately quantifying …

Purpose Flower strips have been shown to increase insect biodiversity and improve
agricultural yields through increased pollination and pest predation. Less is known about …

The quantity and quality of organic carbon (C org) input drive soil C org stocks and thus
fertility and climate mitigation potential of soils. To estimate fluxes of C org as net primary …

Rewetting dry soil induces enormous dynamics in microbial growth and biogeochemistry.
The temporal dynamics of soil carbon (C) mineralization following drying-rewetting (D/RW) …

Reduced use of fossil energy by removing cereal straw for bioenergy potentially threatens
soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. Straw incorporation plays a key role for SOC storage in …

Converting arable land to semi-natural grassland has the potential to restore soil structural
stability (SSS) and increase soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. However, the effect of the …

To investigate the impact of integrating ley grassland in crop rotations on soil C changes at
depths of 0–30 and 0–60 cm, field data regarding C input, soil C and crop production were …
