Reclamation sites in East-Germany are characterized by very sandy substrates being almost free of organic matter, with extremely low nutrient contents and an annual precipitation of only 570 mm and lower. To enhance the value of such marginal lands for a future regionally based bioeconomy the EU funded BeonNAT project plans the plantation of region...
Organic soil amendments such as modified lignite and biostimulants like arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may have the potential to improve soil biological conditions of agricultural soils. The aim of the study was to test if nitrogen-modified lignite granules (NH) are beneficial for mycorrhization, root and shoot development compared to common m...

Organic soil amendments such as biochar are increasingly used to improve the fertility of degraded soils and marginal lands, plant growth, water retention and carbon sequestration. The performance of biochar depends on the parent material, the pyrolysis conditions and the nutrient enrichment process, accounting for the variability of the final prod...
Für den Anbau von Agrarholz im Kurzumtrieb werden unter den gemäßigten Klimabedingungen in Mitteleuropa vornehmlich heimische und fremdländische Baumarten wie Pappeln (Populus spec.), Weiden (Salix spec.), Erlen (Alnus spec.), Robinien (Robinia pseudoacacia) und in deutlich geringerem Maß auch Birken (Betula spec.), Eichen (Quercus spec.) und Esche...
Large-scale disturbances induced by mining of mineral resources (e.g. lignite in Lusatia, Germany) calls for the search of recultivation techniques related to nutrient-poor substrates that can promote plant growth under dry and unfavourable conditions. Two commercial soil additives (CSA) which are synthetic-mineral (CSA 1) and organo-mineral (CSA 2...
