T1 - 15 years of ecosystem development at Chicken Creek catchment: conceptual framework, surprises and conclusions T2 - Geophysical Research Abstracts N2 - After completion of the construction in 2005 (Gerwin et al. 2009), a major challenge was to develop and install a cross-disciplinary long-term monitoring program for the 6 ha area to record major environmental parameters adapted to the development of the site (Schaaf et al. 2013). During its first 15 years, Chicken Creek showed a very dynamic development (Elmer et al 2013). Whereas the abiotic geosystem of the first 2-3 years was characterized by heavy erosion and sediment transport, primary succession by invading vegetation and the unexpected formation of soil crusts within few years resulted in more biotic-abiotic feedbacks that controlled catchment hydrology. Our observations over a period of 15 years indicate that even minor variations in initial substrate characteristics (e.g. texture) can have lasting impacts on geomorphical, hydrological and biological development like erosion intensity, groundwater levels or establishment of vegetation patterns. The time-series of monitoring data combined with a structure model of the catchment (Gerke et al. 2013) allowed the closure of the water balance by relatively simple calculations of water storage volumes and the estimation of evapotranspiration (Schaaf et al. 2017). From these data three stages of ecosystem development were derived which are characterized by increasing influence of biota and increasing system complexity.

The site has an area of 6 ha with defined boundary conditions and known inner structures. Since more than 10 years, we are monitoring the unrestricted development of different system compartments. The fast development, the formation of patterns and increasing heterogeneity were challenges for the monitoring program. Starting with a regular 20 x 20 m grid in the initially homogeneous system, monitoring installations were continuously complemented by more pattern and patch oriented measurements in order to catch up with both the spatial and temporal dynamics of the catchment. The monitoring program includes both high-resolution temporal recordings (e.g. groundwater levels, discharge, meteorological data, soil moisture), spatial sampling campaigns (e.g. soil properties) and annual vegetation surveys. In addition, we use drone images to document the site development. The presentation describes the monitoring approach and adaptation with examples from vegetation, soil and hydrological data at different spatial and temporal scales.

September 2022 in Trier N2 - Die Lausitz zählt schon heute zu einer der niederschlagärmsten Regionen in Deutschland. Durch den Klimawandel wird diese Situation noch weiter verstärkt und die Wahrscheinlichkeit von extremen Trockenperioden während der Hauptvegetationsphase wird zunehmen. Einer der zentralen bodenkundlichen Herausforderungen wird es somit sein, die geringe Wasserhaltekapazität der vor allem sandigen Böden der Region zu steigern. In dem Verbundvorhaben StabilOrg wird daher die Entwicklung neuartiger Bodenhilfsstoffe auf der Basis regional in der Lausitz verfügbarer Ressourcen untersucht. Durch die Tagebauaktivitäten in der Region fallen große Mengen an Eisenhydroxidschlämmen (EHS) an. Hierbei lassen sich 3 Herkunftsschwerpunkte definieren: I) natürliche Eisenhydroxidsedimente aus Fließen, II) EHS aus Grubenwasserbehandlungsanlagen, die durch Kalkung gefällt wurden und III) EHS aus Trinkwassergewinnungsstätten, die gekalkt und zusätzlich durch chemische Flockungsmittel behandelt wurden. Diese sollen mit verschiedenen Tonen und Lehmen als weitere anorganische Komponenten, sowie mit organischem Material (Kompost) gemischt werden. Ziel ist die Herstellung von anorganisch-organische Mischsubstraten, die die bodenphysikalischen Eigenschaften positiv beeinflussen. Erste Untersuchungsergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die untersuchten EHS je nach Behandlung in ihrer mineralogischen Zusammensetzung, sowie den physikochemischen Parametern deutlich unterscheiden. In ersten Experimenten wird untersucht, wie sich diese Mischungen auf die Wasserhaltekapazität von sandigen Böden auswirken und ob sich dabei Unterschiede zwischen den EHS und in Kombination mit den anderen Ausgangssubstanzen aufzeigen lassen.
