Spatial variability of potassium in agricultural soils of the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland

Stéphane Joost, Nicolas Rossier, Guillaume Blanchet, André Schneider

Potassium (K) is a crucial element for plant nutrition and its availability and spatial distribution in agricultural soils is influenced by many agro-environmental factors. In Switzerland, a soil monitoring network (FRIBO) was established in 1987 with 250 ...

Effects of endogeic earthworms on the soil organic matter dynamics and the soil structure in urban and alluvial soil materials

Pascal Turberg, Jean-Michel Gobat, Renée-Claire Le Bayon

Earthworms are considered as key actors of soil processes at different spatial and temporal scales and provide essential ecosystem services linked to climate regulation or primary production. However, little is known about their basic functional roles (e.g ...

Spatial variability of soil phosphorus in the Fribourg canton, Switzerland

Stéphane Joost, Nicolas Rossier

Phosphorus (P) is the second essential nutrient for plant growth but can become an ecological and economical concern in case of over-fertilization. Soil P dynamic is influenced by many parameters like soil physical-chemical properties and farming practices ...

Diminished soil functions occur under simulated climate change in a sup-alpine pasture, but heterotrophic temperature sensitivity indicates microbial resilience

Alexandre Buttler, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov, Thomas Spiegelberger, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

The pressure of climate change is disproportionately high in mountainous regions, and small changes may push ecosystem processes beyond sensitivity thresholds, creating new dynamics of carbon and nutrient cycling. Given that the rate of organic matter deco ...

Experimental assessment of riverbed sediment reinforcement by vegetation roots

Paolo Perona

Vegetation roots are known to increase soil stability on hillslopes, crops and river banks, thus reducing slide hazards, surface erosion and general processes affecting lateral channel migration. Many studies have tackled this classical engineering problem ...

The Hairsine-Rose Soil Erosion Model: Analysis for Total Sediment Concentration

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa

The Hairsine-Rose (HR) model considers rainfall- and shear-driven erosion of the soil bed, overland transport and sediment deposition. Here, we consider the model for rainfall-driven erosion. The model takes account of the different erodabilities of the or ...

A rapid response of testate amoebae and vegetation to inundation of a kettle hole mire

Mariusz Lamentowicz

Our palaeoecological study covers 73 years of history (1929-2002) of a kettle hole peatland inundated by water from a nearby, dammed lake. Testate amoebae, pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) were used to track the shift to wetter conditions in the p ...

Column flow in stratified soils and fingers in Hele-Shaw cells: A review

David Andrew Barry

We examine the development of instability studies in the oil industry and in soil physics, the former being far more advanced has tended to mold the latter. This had some unfortunate consequences as oil studies tended to rely heavily on Hele-Shaw cells, wh ...
