To enhance the value of such marginal lands for a future regionally based bioeconomy the EU funded BeonNAT project plans the plantation of regional tree and shrub species. The obtained forest biomass will be used for the production of biodegradable bio-based products and bioactive compounds that will play an important role to replace fossil-based competing substitute products. Field trials in different European countries will be established to test the benefit of intercropping/mixed-forest in marginal cultural land versus the natural growing/monoculture. In Germany, one test site is located in the post-mining sites of Lusatia. In this field trial the biomass development, the impact on soil fertility and biodiversity will be investigated after planting Robinia pseudoacacia and Rubus fructicosus.}, language = {en} } @incollection{VesteSchillemBoehm, author = {Veste, Maik and Schillem, Steffi and B{\"o}hm, Christian}, title = {Baumarten f{\"u}r die Agrarholzproduktion}, series = {Agrarholz - Schnellwachsende B{\"a}ume in der Landwirtschaft : Biologie - {\"O}kologie - Management}, booktitle = {Agrarholz - Schnellwachsende B{\"a}ume in der Landwirtschaft : Biologie - {\"O}kologie - Management}, editor = {Veste, Maik and B{\"o}hm, Christian}, publisher = {Springer Spektrum}, address = {Berlin [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-3-662-49930-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-662-49931-3_4}, pages = {81 -- 118}, language = {de} } @book{GerwinSchillemAschetal., author = {Gerwin, Werner and Schillem, Steffi and Asch, Folkard and Bens, Oliver and Bestajovsky, J{\"u}rgen and Bruns, Christian and Gattinger, Andreas and Hattig, Tom and Hoogen, Heiner and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F. and Raab, Thomas and Rodionov, Andrei and Schaaf, Wolfgang and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and Trimborn, Manfred}, title = {Bodenmelioration und Anbauverfahren f{\"u}r trockenheitsgef{\"a}hrdete Standorte (BAtroS)}, editor = {H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F. and Gerwin, Werner}, publisher = {FZLB}, address = {Cottbus}, isbn = {978-3-937728-14-8}, pages = {120}, language = {de} } @incollection{AschBensBestajovskyetal., author = {Asch, Folkard and Bens, Oliver and Bestajovsky, J{\"u}rgen and Gattinger, Andreas and Gerwin, Werner and Hattig, Tom and Hoogen, Verena and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F. and Rodionov, Andrei and Schaaf, Wolfgang and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and Trimborn, Manfred and Schillem, Steffi}, title = {Bodenmelioration und Anbauverfahren f{\"u}r trockenheitsgef{\"a}hrdete Standorte}, series = {Klimaschutz und Anpassung an die Klimafolgen : Strategien, Maßnahmen und Anwendungsbeispiele}, booktitle = {Klimaschutz und Anpassung an die Klimafolgen : Strategien, Maßnahmen und Anwendungsbeispiele}, editor = {Mahammadzadeh, Mahammad and Biebeler, Hendrik and Bardt, Hubertus}, publisher = {IW-Medien}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, isbn = {978-3-602-14847-9}, pages = {287 -- 294}, language = {de} } @misc{SchillemSchneiderZeihseretal., author = {Schillem, Steffi and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and Zeihser, Uwe and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {Effect of N-modified Lignite Granulates and Composted Biochar on Plant Growth, Nitrogen and Water Use Efficiency of Spring Wheat}, series = {Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science}, journal = {Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science}, issn = {1476-3567}, doi = {10.1080/03650340.2019.1582767}, pages = {30}, abstract = {Organic soil amendments such as biochar are increasingly used to improve the fertility of degraded soils and marginal lands, plant growth, water retention and carbon sequestration. The performance of biochar depends on the parent material, the pyrolysis conditions and the nutrient enrichment process, accounting for the variability of the final products. Recently lignite granulates came into focus offering an alternative characterised by homogeneity, vast availability of the raw material and a standardised production process including nitrogen enrichment through oxidative ammonolysis. In a greenhouse experiment the effects of N-modified lignite granulates (NLG) and composted biochar (BC) on the growth of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) in a sandy, carbon-free substrate were compared. Additionally, the effect of different NLG application rates (5, 7.5, 11, 15, 28 t ha-1) was investigated. Yields as well as nitrogen and water use efficiency of the soil-plant system were determined at the end of the experiment. Both organic amendments increased yields relative to control plants. An increase in yield, nitrogen and water use efficiency for NLG even at low application rates and a better growth performance compared to BC were observed. Present findings, therefore, indicate, that such granulates offer an alternative to existing organic soil amendments.}, language = {en} } @misc{RodionovNiiAnnangBensetal., author = {Rodionov, Andrei and Nii-Annang, Seth and Bens, Oliver and Trimborn, Manfred and Schillem, Steffi and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and Raab, Thomas and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {Impacts of Soil Additives on Crop Yield and C-Sequestration in Post Mine Substrates of Lusatia, Germany}, series = {Pedosphere}, volume = {22}, journal = {Pedosphere}, number = {3}, issn = {1002-0160}, pages = {343 -- 350}, language = {en} } @misc{BoldtBurischSchillemSchneideretal., author = {Boldt-Burisch, Katja and Schillem, Steffi and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {The effect of nitrogen-modified lignite granules on mycorrhization and root and shoot growth of Secale cereale (winter rye) in a nutrient-deficient, sandy soil}, series = {Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science}, journal = {Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science}, issn = {1476-3567}, doi = {10.1080/03650340.2020.1869724}, pages = {14}, abstract = {Organic soil amendments such as modified lignite and biostimulants like arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may have the potential to improve soil biological conditions of agricultural soils.

A greenhouse experiment with Secale cereale L. was carried out using non-sterilized and sterilized sand substrate treated with NH, AMF or Nmin and AMF+NH and AMF+Nmin and was compared to an untreated substrate (control). 7.5 t ha-1 NH and 120 kg Nmin ha-1 led to a similar increase of AMF colonization compared to the control; however, Nmin had a more positive influence on biomass development. Significantly highest mycorrhizal colonization intensity was found for AMF+NH. The co-application of AMF+NH revealed that shoot and root development and shoot nutrient concentrations were significantly higher or were among the significantly highest values, when compared to the other treatments. AMF+NH may be a suitable soil amendment for nutrient-limited soils and may be more sustainable than Nmin due to a combined increase of nitrogen, AMF and carbon/humic acids in the soil that comes with the NH.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchillemSchneiderZeihseretal., author = {Schillem, Steffi and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and Zeihser, Uwe and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {Application of N-modified lignite and activated biochar to increase growth of summer wheat on nutrient-poor sandy soil}, series = {European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017 Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017}, booktitle = {European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017 Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017}, publisher = {European Geophysical Society}, address = {Katlenburg-Lindau}, abstract = {Land degradation is recognized as the main environmental problem that adversely depletes soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (SON) stocks, which in turn directly affects the fertility and productivity of soils. Degraded soils and marginal lands are characterized by low fertility, poor physicochemical and biological properties and are almost free of soil organic matter (SOM), limiting their functional properties and, hence, their productivity. To enhance or restore the fertility of these soils, natural soil amendments such as biochar, lignite or humic acids can be added. A greenhouse experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different application rates (5, 7.5, 11, 15, 28 t ha-1) of N-modified lignite (NL) incorporated in a nutrient-poor sandy soil from a recultivation site on plant growth, water use and nitrogen use efficiency of summer wheat. Additionally activated biochar (BC) was tested to see whether any differences exist between N-modified lignite and activated biochar at the same Capplication rates. All variants with soil amendments displayed a much higher grain and straw yield and water use efficiency compared to the control sample. The differences were significant for the 28 t ha-1variant followed by the variant with 5 t ha-1 NL. With the 7.5 t ha-1 NL higher biomasses, water and nitrogen use efficiency could be achieved compared to the variant treated with BC at the same C-content. This study shows that even small amounts of N-modified lignite can increase growth, water and nitrogen use efficiency of summer wheat on marginal lands.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Schillem, author = {Schillem, Steffi}, title = {Instrumente der Landnutzung zur Anpassung an N{\"a}hrstoffarmut und Trockenheit auf marginalen Standorten}, publisher = {BTU, LS Bodenschutz und Rekultivierung}, address = {Cottbus}, isbn = {3-937728-13-9}, pages = {XI, 78}, language = {de} }
