📢Now published: "Carbon sequestration potential in hedgerow soils: Results from 23 sites in Germany". doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2… We found a 36% increase in SOC stocks under hedgerows compared to croplands, and SOC stocks were also increased in adjacent edges and croplands. 🌿🍃🪱

One of these few great papers where #soilorganiccarbon stocks, litter, aboveground & #root biomass were measured simulteanously. Well done @SoDrexler @Thuenen_SOM ! "Carbon storage in old #hedgerows: The importance of belowground biomass" @GCB_Bioenergy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Carbon storage in old hedgerows: The importance of below‐ground biomass

The establishment of hedgerows is a promising measure to increase terrestrial carbon (C) sinks for climate change mitigation, but data on biomass carbon storage in hedgerows are scarce. Therefore,...

What is a "good" soil carbon content? Difficult question in the context of soil health, but the soc:clay ratio might not give the answer. What if we instead use the relationship between soc and clay as the denominator in such an indicator? Happy to discuss...

Die #Ackerbaustrategie 2035 will den #Bodenschutz stärken und die #Bodenfruchtbarkeit erhöhen. Das Video🎥 zeigt, warum #Humusaufbau und eine möglichst ganzjährige Bodenbedeckung wichtig sind und wie eine bodenschonende Bereifung den Boden schützt. ➡ youtu.be/cBMrIHEjqj0

Same cultivar, different soil: Bernstein in Grossnondorf (left) and Changins (right). We will also measure physical and chemical soil parameters and collect climate and weather data to determine potential drivers of root carbon inputs across Europe. @EJPSOIL #roots #soilhealth
