How are soil functions influenced by land use and biodiversity?

Picture: The photograph shows a round tall metal tray on a laboratory bench containing twenty-one cylindrical small glass or plastic containers with white screw caps. The containers are filled with soil samples. Next to the containers in the tray is a slip of paper with the word "unground" handwritten on it.

Goals and methods

As the core project soil, we provide important information on soil properties and functions from all 300 experimental plots of the Biodiversity Exploratories for the overall project. We are significantly involved in the coordination and implementation of joint soil sampling of core and sub-projects working in soil biology, microbiology and soil science and in synthesis activities.

Our project includes:

(1) The monitoring of relevant soil properties such as enzyme activities in the Biodiversity Exploratories.
(2) The monitoring of litterfall on the forest plots
(3) The determination of nutrient removal from the soil (N, P, S, K, Mg, Ca) (in situ)
(4) The measurement of autotrophic and heterotrophic soil respiration and its seasonal variability (in situ)
(5) To study the formation and turnover of mineral-associated soil organic matter with mineral bags (in situ)
(6) To investigate the importance of nutrient availability (N,P) for soil organic matter mineralisation and rhizosphere priming (lab incubations).

Picture: The photo shows four scientists taking soil samples in a beech forest in spring.

Coordinated soil sampling

Soda Lime Traps

Picture: The photo shows the situation of filling a mineral container. On a work table there is a flat glass bowl containing the mineral container. The round flat container is filled with an orange-brown soil substance. Above the container you can see the arms and hands of a person wearing a lab coat and green latex gloves. The left hand holds a glass beaker while the right hand holds a spoon in the beaker to pick up the remains of the soil substance still in it

Mineral bag

Enzyme analysis

Hypotheses

We are guided by the hypothesis that increased management intensity reduces carbon and nutrient stocks in forest soils, while this effect is less visible in grassland soils due to fertilisation.

We address the following guiding questions:

How do land use and biodiversity affect the carbon and nutrient balance of soils? What feedback mechanisms occur?
Are short-term and long-term forest and grassland management reflected in soil properties and especially in soil carbon turnover?
Which microbial groups respond most strongly to the addition of readily available carbon and nutrient sources?
What role do land use and biodiversity play in carbon and nutrient mineralisation? How are carbon and nutrient mineralisation coupled? How do the nutrients released by mineralisation behave in the soil?

The so-called core projects of the BE emerged from the site selection project and the establishment of the exploratories (2006-2008). Since 2008, they have been providing the infrastructure and collecting important basic information on land use, diversity and ecosystem processes (long-term monitoring) for all projects. In addition, they coordinate project-wide activities such as various large-scale experiments.
