To assess potential soil contribution to plant nutrition, we compared the P status of Stagnic Cambisol profiles in experimental plots that received different P fertilizer applications (control, triple superphosphate (TSP), compost, compost+TSP) for 16 years. Sequential fractionation was combined with P K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy to identify the chemical P speciation. Fertilized topsoils (21 to 69 kg P ha-1 a-1) showed P reserves larger by a factor of 1.2 to 1.4, and subsoil P reserves larger by a factor of 1.3 to 1.5 than those of the control. P-XANES revealed the predominance of inorganic P species such as moderately labile Fe- (46 to 92\%), Al- (0 to 40\%), and Ca- (0 to 15\%) P compounds besides organic P (0 to 13\%) in all treatments. The fertilizer application slightly altered P speciation throughout the profiles, but the type of fertilizer had no significant effect on it. Optimal plant growth requirements are restricted by the exchangeable P from the solid phase within the soil solution. Therefore, ongoing research focuses on the accessibility of P from P loaded amorphous Fe- and Al-hydroxides, previously identified as the predominant abiotic P forms. To assess their P desorption potential, P-33 rhizotron experiments combined with P-33 isotopic exchange kinetics (IEK) are underway. Preliminary results indicated that besides differences in P binding capacity of soil hydroxides, physical soil parameters, such as the matric potential, strongly control soil P availability, thus plant P acquisition rates can vary among different soil types. Our results gained new detailed information about P bioavailability under agricultural practice.

The purposes of the new approaches are to ensure more efficient management of ecosystems and implement intensive forestry that will increase biomass production \& timber yields. To achieve this, we need to determine the macroeconomic potential of the various options available, including the use of biotechnology and genetics. The success of the forests plantations capacity may be solved through forest certification, based on: a) Stabilization of the forests and soils structure. b) Hierarchy of biomass production in the forest's management process. c) rganization and implementation of effective plantation on marginal lands. d) Maintenance or increase of forest productivity by introducing new items as and when they are required. It is important to evaluate of the influence of factors such as the quality of soils of plantation areas, the utilization of the genetic resources and the management of forest operations with the environmental economic criteria such as net present value of benefits (NPV) and the corresponding flow annuities (EACF).The existing evaluations studies showed that the quality of the plantation areas has the most influence and through validated quality seed production can generate an increase in the NPV up to 73\%. The importance of seedlings quality in timber and bio-energy production on marginal lands based on the literature it is estimated according to the heredity of the characteristics of the wood structure (except shrinkage).

However, bioenergy production on regular and fertile agricultural soils might conflict with the worldwide growing demand for food. To mitigate or omit this potential conflict, the use of low quality or marginal land for cultivation of bioenergy plants becomes favorable. Against this background the definition and assessment of land marginality and, respectively, the evaluation whether and to which extent specific areas are marginal and thus convenient for sustainable bioenergy production, becomes highly relevant. Within the framework of the EU funded Horizon 2020 project SEEMLA, we attempted to asses land marginality of designated test sites in the Ukraine, Greece and Germany by direct field survey. For that purpose, soil and site properties were investigated and evaluated by applying the Muencheberg Soil Quality Rating (SQR) method, developed at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF). The method deploys a comprehensive set of biogeophysical and chemical indicators to describe and finally evaluate the quality of the soil and site by a score ranging from 1 to 100 points. Field survey data were supported by additional laboratory tests on a representative set of soil samples. Practical field work and analysis of field and lab data from the investigated sites proved the applicability of the SQR method within the SEEMLA context. The SQR indices calculated from the field and lab data ranged from 2 to < 40 and clearly demonstrated the marginality of the investigated sites in the Ukraine, Greece and Germany, which differed considerably in respect to their characteristics. Correlating the site quality index to yield data reflecting yield estimations for common bioenergy plants such as willow (Salix sp.), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and poplar (Populus sp.) cultivated at the respective test sites, revealed that SQR might additionally reflect the potential yield of the investigated sites.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BoldtBurischNaeth, author = {Boldt-Burisch, Katja and Naeth, M.

In our study we investigated whether silt-clay fragments within a sandy soil matrix induced preferential root growth of Lotus corniculatus and Calamagrostis epigeios, whether arbuscular mycorrhizae influenced root foraging patterns, and to what extent selective rooting in clay silt fragments influenced plant growth were addressed in this research. Soil types were sterile and non-sterile sandy soil and clay-silt fragments. Treatments were with and without arbuscular mycorrhizae, with and without soil solution, and soil solution and mycorrhizal inoculum combined. Root biomass, root density and intraradical fungal alkaline phosphatase activity and frequency were determined in fragments relative to sandy soil. Furthermore, temporal relationship of number of roots in fragments and plant height was assessed. Lotus corniculatus showed strong selective rooting into fragments especially with those plants treated with commercial cultivated arbuscular mycorrhizae; Calamagrostis epigeios did not. Without arbuscular mycorrhizae, L. corniculatus growth was significantly reduced and selective rooting did not occur. Selective rooting induced significant growth spurts of L. corniculatus. Roots in fragments had higher fungal alkaline phosphatase activity suggesting that mycorrhizal efficiency and related plants phosphorus supply is enhanced in roots in fragments. The application of cultivated arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi significantly and quickly influenced root foraging patterns, especially those of L. corniculatus, suggesting mycorrhizae may also enhance the ability of other plants to selectively forage for nutrients and could therefore play an important role in early plant establishment on infertile reclamation sites.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GerwinRepmannFreese, author = {Gerwin, Werner and Repmann, Frank and Freese, Dirk}, title = {B{\"o}den marginaler Standorte - eigenschaften, Limitierungen und Potentiale}, series = {Abstracts der DBG Jahrestagung 2017, 02.-07.

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.

In addition, tree-strips have the ability to improve the groundwater quality underneath the tree-strip itself and possibly underneath adjacent fields. Unlike these commonly measured ecosystem services the microclimate conditions in temperate agroforestry systems are still a comparatively new study area (Kanzler et al. 2015, B{\"o}hm et al. 2014).

In Brandenburg (NE Germany) various ecosystems were degraded by different human activities like surface mining and military activities on sand dunes. These resulted in degraded open landscapes with an initial soil development. These new ecosystems are characterized by a high vulnerability to erosion, low water holding capacity, lack of nutrients, or low pH. For rehabilitation of degraded soils and vegetation, these post-mining and mobile sand dunes need specific restoration measures, but beside inappropriate soil characteristics, insufficient water availability can limit plant growth. Even located in the temperate zone of Europe, Brandenburg belongs to the driest regions in Germany and faces long drought periods. In this context, the determination of the influence of biocrusts on carbon accumulation during initial ecosystem succession, small-scale investigations on photosynthetic capacity and active phase regarding biocrust formation and developmental stage, which vary from initial green algae-crusts to biocrusts dominated by soil lichens or mosses, are necessary. Hence, succession of biocrusts result in a spatiotemporal heterogeneity and distribution pattern. We could show that varying species abundance, composition, and crust succession affect photosynthetic capacity, and hence, carbon fixation capability. Different spatial hotspots could be analyzed under field conditions and monitored during the season. Long-term measurements of climatic parameters, which include radiation, temperature, precipitation, and desiccation of biocrusts, will be linked to photosynthetic performances under lab conditions. This spatial model can help to understand the impact of biocrusts on carbon accumulation in initial soils. Due to the potential to colonize soil surface under harsh conditions without human support, advantages of biocrusts can be used systematically as a supporting rehabilitation measure for physical stabilization, gain of organic carbon, and hence, facilitates the growth of indigenous vegetation during primary succession.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MirckKanzlerBoehmetal., author = {Mirck, Jaconette and Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Freese, Dirk}, title = {Sugar beet yields and soil moisture measurements in an alley cropping system}, series = {Celebrating 20 years of Agroforestry research in Europe, 3rd European Agroforestry Conference, Montpellier, 23-25 May 2016, Book of Abstracts}, booktitle = {Celebrating 20 years of Agroforestry research in Europe, 3rd European Agroforestry Conference, Montpellier, 23-25 May 2016, Book of Abstracts}, editor = {Gosme, Marie}, isbn = {978-2-87614-717-1}, pages = {282 -- 285}, abstract = {Agroforestry for arable farmers is not a common practice in Germany. 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{TsonkovaMirckBoehmetal., author = {Tsonkova, Penka and Mirck, Jaconette and B{\"o}hm, Christian and F{\"u}tz, Bettina and Freese, Dirk}, title = {The lack of a clear definition of agroforestry hinders its acceptance in Germany}, series = {Celebrating 20 years of Agroforestry research in Europe, 3rd European Agroforestry Conference, Montpellier, 23-25 May 2016, Book of Abstracts}, booktitle = {Celebrating 20 years of Agroforestry research in Europe, 3rd European Agroforestry Conference, Montpellier, 23-25 May 2016, Book of Abstracts}, editor = {Gosme, Marie}, isbn = {978-2-87614-717-1}, pages = {259 -- 262}, abstract = {Agroforestry systems are receiving increasing attention in the temperate region due to their ability to counteract negative consequences of intensively managed agricultural fields. Examples of traditional agroforestry (AF) in central Europe are orchard meadows "Streuosbt", hedgerows "Knicks" and windbreaks. Traditional AF systems are considered to be areas of high natural and cultural value (HNCV), and as such have been recognized to support high biodiversity levels. Recently, modern AF systems which are well adapted to the current farming practices and are compatible with mechanized agriculture have emerged. Modern practices such as alley cropping system for woody biomass production (ACS), composed of strips of fast growing trees and agricultural crops grown in alleys between the tree rows, can supply market goods and environmental services at the same time (Gruenewald et al. 2007, Quinkenstein et al. 2009). However, farmers in Germany have been reluctant to implement the latter systems, because agricultural policies have limited the number of trees within agricultural systems, while the former have been in danger of abandonment throughout Europe. As a result many farmers have lost interest in AF, and those that inherited land with traditional AF systems may not recognize them as such, because they are not recognized as AF according to the EU policy.
