(2020.0). Invader presence disrupts the stabilizing effect of species richness in plant community recovery after drought. Global Change Biology, 26(6), 3539-3551. doi:10.1111/gcb.15025

Higher biodiversity can stabilize the productivity and functioning of grassland communities when subjected to extreme climatic events. The positive biodiversity–stability relationship emerges via increased resistance and/or recovery to these events. However, invader presence might disrupt this diver…

Gypser S., Freese D. (2020.0). Phosphorus release from vivianite and hydroxyapatite by organic and inorganic compounds. Pedosphere, 30(2), 190-200. doi:10.1016/s1002-0160(20)60004-2

Based on recent mining rates and the exhaustion of global phosphorus (P) reserves, there is a need to mobilize P already stored in soils, and its recovery from secondary resources such as Ca- and Fe-phosphates is important. The Ca-phosphate hydroxyapatite forms a good fertilizer source, while vivian…

Bartkowski B., Bartke S., Helming K., Paul C., Techen A., Hansjürgens B. (2020.0). Potential of the economic valuation of soil-based ecosystem services to inform sustainable soil management and policy. PeerJ, 8(), e8749. doi:10.7717/peerj.8749

The concept of ecosystem services, especially in combination with economic valuation, can illuminate trade-offs involved in soil management, policy and governance, and thus support decision making. In this paper, we investigate and highlight the potential and limitations of the economic valuation of…

The availability of P is often insufficient and limited by accumulation in soils. This led to the necessity of solutions for the recovery as well as recycling of secondary P resources. Batch experiments were conducted with CaCl2 and citric acid to characterize P release kinetics from vivianite, hydr…

Limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius and better even to 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to Article 2 paragraph 1 of the Paris Agreement requires global zero emissions in a very short time. These targets imply that not only emissions from degraded peatlands have to be avoided, but c…

Maiwald M., Sumpf B. (2020.0). Improving Raman spectroscopy using diode lasers at 785 nm for shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy. Proc. SPIE 11257, Plasmonics in Biology and Medicine XVII, (), . doi:10.1117/12.2554014

Shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) has been successfully demonstrated for separating Raman signals from background interferences. This powerful tool has been applied for in situ applications such as in vivo diagnostics and outdoor investigations. Here, diode lasers are well sui…

The production of animal food products is (besides fossil fuels) one of the most important noxae with regard to many of the environmental problems, such as climate change, biodiversity loss or globally disrupted nutrient cycles. This paper provides a qualitative governance analysis of which regulato…
