Today’s fertilizers rely heavily on mining phosphorus (P) rocks. These rocks are known to become exhausted in near future, and therefore effective P use is crucial to avoid food shortage. A substantial amount of P from fertilizers gets adsorbed onto soil minerals to become unavailable to plants. Und…

Background: In search for more sustainable crop production, the subsoil has recently come into focus as considerable reservoir of nutrients and water. Aims: Dimensions of subsoil phosphorus (P) reserves are yet largely unknown but crucial for identifying regions suitable to include subsoil into sust…

Food is wasted throughout the entire food supply chain—from agricultural production to the household level. This has negative impacts on natural resources and the environment. At the same time, food waste is undermining the global target of food security. In turn, reducing food waste can minimise th…

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is currently undergoing a reform process which is embedded in a political context that is required to effectively and urgently respond to climate change and biodiversity loss. The CAP beyond 2020 has to be in line with the international goals of the Paris Agreeme…

Nicht nur das Kreislaufwirtschaftsrecht, sondern auch das mediale Umweltrecht enthält mehr und mehr Ansätze, die auf Umweltprobleme der massenhaften Kunststoffnutzung reagieren. Diesen wenig beachteten Regelungen widmet sich der vorliegende Beitrag. Die jeweils etablierte Gefahrenabwehr und Vorsorge…

Stubenrauch J., Ekardt F. (2020.0). Plastic Pollution in Soils: Governance Approaches to Foster Soil Health and Closed Nutrient Cycles. Environments, 7(5), 38. doi:10.3390/environments7050038

Plastic pollution in soils pose a major threat to soil health and soil fertility that are directly linked to food security and human health. In contrast to marine plastic pollution, this ubiquitous problem is thus far scientifically poorly understood and policy approaches that tackle plastic polluti…

Baumann K., Shaheen S., Hu Y., Gros P., Heilmann E., Morshedizad M., Wang J., Wang S., Rinklebe J., Leinweber P. (2020.0). Speciation and sorption of phosphorus in agricultural soil profiles of redoximorphic character. Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 42(10), 3231-3246. doi:10.1007/s10653-020-00561-y

AbstractControlled drainage is considered as a soil management tool to improve water supply to crops and reduce nutrient losses from fields; however, its closure may affect phosphorus (P) mobilization in soil. To assess the P mobilization potential, three soil profiles with redoximorphic features we…

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…

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…
