Die Geländearbeiten für die vorliegende Kartierung dauerten vier Wochen an und fanden vom 14. Juli – 14.
August 2015 statt. Ein vorangegangene Vorbegehung des Arbeitsgebietes erfolgte Anfang Juni. Der Anstoß
der Kartierung stammt von Herrn Dr. R. Petschick, dem das Gebiet um den Diedamskopf mit seinen geologischen Besonderheiten durch zahlreiche Ex...
Im Rahmen des, vom ISOE koordinierten, CuveWaters Teilprojektes „Sanitation and water re-use“, wurde auf einer ackerbaulich genutzten Fläche in der Kleinstadt Outapi in der Omusati-Region insgesamt 5 Profilbeschreibungen und eine Bohrkampagne von 10 Bohrpunkten durchgeführt, um die Bodenverhältnisse
vor Ort zu klären. Die dabei entnommenen Proben w...
Die Mittagsspitz-Formation ist Teil der höheren Unterkreide der Vorarlberger Säntis Decke im Hinteren
Bregenzerwald. Sie besteht vorwiegend aus gebankten, fossilhaltigen Sandkalken mit kieseligen Partien. Im
Südhelvetikum verzahnt sich der Schrattenkalk mit der Drusberg-Formation (Einheiten werden im folgenden nach
Friebe (2007, 71 ff) zitiert). In...
Several lithologs of the Mittagsspitz-Formation has been compiled and sampled in
the area east of the Canisfluh. The Mittagsspitz-Formation forms distinctive steep
faces and cliffs in the landscape. The lithofacies of the outcropes can be described
as sandy calcarenites displaying characteristic corrugated layer boundaries and calcareous lentils re...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics depend on soil properties derived from the geoclimatic conditions under which soils develop and are in many cases modified by land conversion. However, SOC stabilization and the responses of SOC to land use change are not well constrained in deeply weathered tropical soils, which are dominated by less reactive min...
Information on soil properties is crucial for soil preservation, the improvement of food security, and the provision of ecosystem services. In particular, for the African continent, spatially explicit information on soils and their ability to sustain these services is still scarce. To address data gaps, infrared spectroscopy has achieved great succ...
Stabilization of soil organic carbon (SOC) against microbial decomposition depends on several soil properties, including the soil weathering stage and the mineralogy of parent material. As such, tropical SOC stabilization mechanisms likely differ from those in temperate soils due to
contrasting soil development. To better understand these mechanism...
The African Tropics are hotspots of modern-day land use change and are, at
the same time, of great relevance for the cycling of carbon (C) and
nutrients between plants, soils, and the atmosphere. However, the
consequences of land conversion on biogeochemical cycles are still largely
unknown as they are not studied in a landscape context that define...

Version 1.0 of the TropSOC database. Accompanying publication in ESSD currently under review, but available as a pre-print at: https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2021-73
Information on soil properties is crucial for soil preservation, improving food security, and the provision of ecosystem services. Especially, for the African continent, spatially explicit information on soils and their ability to sustain these services is still scarce. To address data gaps, infrared spectroscopy has gained great success as a cost-...
Stabilization of organic carbon in soils (SOC) depends on several soil properties, including the soil weathering stage and the mineralogy of parent material. As such, tropical SOC stabilization mechanisms likely differ from those in temperate soils due to contrasting soil development. To better understand these mechanisms, we investigated SOC dynam...
Soil mineralogy plays an important role in stabilizing soil organic carbon (SOC) against decomposition by forming organo-mineral complexes with reactive mineral surfaces. However, few studies take the influence of parent material geochemistry on the development of C stabilization mechanisms into account. In addition, studies evaluating C stabilizat...
Projects

TROPSOC is a research group within the DFG funded Emmy Noether programme starting in Oct 2017. TROPSOC focuses on tropical soil organic carbon dynamics along erosional disturbance gradients in relation to soil geochemistry and land use.
The main objective of the proposed TROPSOC project is to develop a mechanistic understanding of C sequestration and release in the soils of Tropical Africa, studied in the Eastern part of the Congo Basin.
TROPSOC will make a significant contribution to answering the following questions:
1. How will nutrient fluxes and C allocation between soils, plants and the atmosphere evolve and differ in tropical systems in relation to the controlling factors: mineralogy, topography and vegetation?
2. How does geochemistry control, interact with or mediate the severity of erosional disturbance on C cycling in the critical zone of tropical soils?
3. How can we model the mechanisms controlling tropical soil C dynamics in a spatially explicit way?
