Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is a suitable tree species in order to ensure substantial woody biomass yields on agricultural sites in eastern Germany. Arranged in hedge structures (alley cropping) positive effects on wind velocity and hence on soil erosion can be expected for the whole agricultural production area. Results of field measurements carried out in several alley cropping sites located in eastern Germany show that wind velocity can be reduced by more than 50 \%, even though tree hedgerows were not higher than four meters. Here, the reduction of wind speed was dependent on the distance to woody crops, the width of the crop alleys and the orientation of hedgerows. As a result of wind speeds reduction the potential of soil erosion by wind decreases considerably. The risk of wind erosion is even nearly negligible for 24 m wide or smaller crop alleys. The establishment of short rotation hedgerows could contribute to an enhanced protection against wind erosion and thus to an ecological and possible long-term economic appreciation of agricultural sites. Aside from erosion control, further advantages such as a lower evaporation rate, and thus a crop yield increase, may be connected to the establishment of such agroforestry systems. Against the background of the increasing demand for woody biomass for bioenergy, the cultivation of fast growing trees on agricultural sites can furthermore result in an additional incomefor farmers. This is a prerequisite for the spread of this kind of agroforestry in Germany, because a comparable large share of an unprotected field has to be planted with trees in order to ensure an efficient windbreak.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KanzlerBoehmFreese, author = {Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Freese, Dirk}, title = {N{\"a}hrstoffgehalte und Ertr{\"a}ge von Kartoffeln in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit zur Entfernung vom Geh{\"o}lzstreifen in einem Agroforstsystem}, series = {Tagung der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Pflanzenbauwissenschaften e.V. mit der Max-Eyth-Gesellschaft Agrartechnik VDI-MEG, 16.-18.

Therefore, we annually investigated the crop alleys (AC) and black locust hedgerows (ABL) of a SRACS field trail under initial soil conditions to identify the short-term effects of tree planting on the storage of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its degree of stabilization by density fractionation. We detected a significant increase in SOC and hot-water-extractable organic C (HWEOC) at ABL, which was mainly restricted to the uppermost soil layer (0-10 cm). After 6 years, the SOC and HWEOC accumulation rates at ABL were 0.6 Mg and 46 kg ha-1 year-1, which were higher than those in the AC. In addition, comparatively high stocks of approximately 4.6 Mg OC and 182 kg HWEOC ha-1 were stored in the ABL litter layer. Density fractionation of the 0-3 cm soil layer at ABL revealed that the majority of the total SOC (47\%) was stored in the free particulate organic matter fraction, which was more than twice that of the AC. At the same time, a higher and steadily increasing amount of SOC was stored in the occluded particulate organic matter fraction at ABL, which indicated a high efficiency for SOC stabilization. Overall, our findings support the suitability of black locust trees for increasing the soil fertility of the reclaimed mining substrate and, consequently, the high potential for SRACS to serve as an effective recultivation measure at marginal sites.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KanzlerBoehmMircketal., author = {Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Mirck, Jaconette and Schmitt, Dieter and Veste, Maik}, title = {Einfluss agroforstlicher Nutzung auf das Mikroklima, den Ackerfruchtertrag und die potentielle Evaporation}, series = {B{\"a}ume in der Land(wirt)schaft - von der Theorie in die Praxis, Tagungsband mit Beitr{\"a}gen des 5.

Neben mikroklimatischen Kenngr{\"o}ßen wie der Lufttemperatur, der relativen Luftfeuchte, der Windgeschwindigkeit und der Globalstrahlung wurde auch die Evaporation nach Piche bestimmt. Erg{\"a}nzend wurden Ertragsmessungen zum Kornertrag und Messungen zum Blattfl{\"a}chenindex (LAI) des angebauten Winterweizens durchgef{\"u}hrt. Neben {\"A}nderungen der Tagesminima der relativen Luftfeuchtigkeit im Nahbereich der Geh{\"o}lzstreifen wurde eine Reduktion der durchschnittlichen Windgeschwindigkeit von bis zu 51 \% gegen{\"u}ber der Freifl{\"a}che festgestellt. Die Minderung der Evaporation im Vergleich zur Freifl{\"a}che betrug je nach Witterung bzw.

However, alley cropping for woody biomass production is of interest because of its high potential to concurrently provide a biomass feedstock and an arable crop. One of the systems that exists, although at an experimental level, is the integration of rows of fast growing trees, such as poplar or willow, with arable crops. The experimental plots were initially established as part of the German joint research project "AgroForstEnergie - Economic and Ecological Evaluation of Agroforestry Systems in Farming Practice", funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (AgroForstEnergie 2015). The goal of this project was to study alley cropping systems, which concurrently produce a woody biomass feedstock and conventional agricultural crops. Currently the work is continued through the AGFORWARD Project. The State of Brandenburg is known for its light sandy soils that are prone to wind erosion. The introduction of tree hedgerows within the agricultural landscape can reduce wind erosion (B{\"o}hm et al. 2014). In addition, microclimatic conditions such as soil moisture, wind speed reduction, relative humidity and air temperature have been more favourable for plant growth in crop alleys compared to reference crop areas (B{\"o}hm et al. 2014; Quinkenstein et al. 2009). Sugar beets are a common crop for conventional agricultural systems in Western Europe. As part of agroforestry systems, sugar beets have rarely been studied. Even though sugar beets can root up to a depth of 2 meter, their yields can be significantly reduced due to a lack of water (Hoffmann 2010; Bloch et al. 2006). Agroforestry systems that consist of tree hedgerows and crop alleys, also known as Alley Cropping Systems, have the potential to increase plant moisture in comparison to conventional agricultural systems (Quinkenstein et al. 2009). This study aims to assess tree hedgerow effects on sugar beets. The objectives of this study were to; 1) assess how tree hedgerows planted at three distances affected sugar beet yields; 2) to correlate soil moisture values of the top 15 cm with sugar beet yields at the same distance of the tree row; 3) to assess the effects of drought stress on sugar beet yield.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MirckKanzlerBoehmetal., author = {Mirck, Jaconette and Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Freese, Dirk}, title = {Sugar beet yields in an alley cropping system during a dry summer}, series = {Social and technological transformation of farming systems: Diverging and converging pathways, 12th European IFSA Symposium, Newport, 12-15 July 2016, Book of Abstracts}, booktitle = {Social and technological transformation of farming systems: Diverging and converging pathways, 12th European IFSA Symposium, Newport, 12-15 July 2016, Book of Abstracts}, editor = {Wilcox, Andrew and Vinall, Samantha}, publisher = {Harper Adams University}, address = {Newport, Shropshire}, pages = {80 -- 82}, abstract = {Agroforestry (the integration of trees with crop and/or livestock production) offers a pathway to diversify agricultural production. Agroforestry systems have the potential to improve on-farm use of water through enhanced soil water holding capacities, the provision of shade, and the creation of wind shelter. These three characteristics can also improve the resilience of agricultural production in response to changing weather patterns. The objectives of this study were: 1) to measure how alley cropping systems with varying alley widths affect crop microclimate, 2) to measure the effects of this microclimate on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) yields, and 3) to assess how moisture availability affects sugar beet growth patterns. Measurements were made in a 70 ha alley cropping system comprising black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and hybrid poplar Max1 (Populus suaveolens subsp. maximowiczii x P. nigra). A sugar beet crop was grown during the relatively dry growing season of 2015. Sugar beet yields were reduced in close proximity to the hedgerow, but yields were higher at and beyond an intermediate distance when compared with those in a nearby conventional agricultural field. Moisture availability significantly affected growth patterns of sugar beet roots.}, language = {en} }
