Journal ArticleDOI
Land-use and hydroperiod affect kettle hole sediment carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry
Kai Nils Nitzsche,Thomas Kalettka,Katrin Premke,Gunnar Lischeid,Arthur Gessler,Zachary Kayler +5 more
TL;DR: It was found that the magnitude of evaporation depended on the year, season, and land-use type, that kettle holes are temporarily coupled to shallow ground water, and, as such, kettle hole-groundwater connectivity is described best as partially-closed to open systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic matter distribution and retention along transects from hilltop to kettle hole within an agricultural landscape
Kai Nils Nitzsche,Michael Kaiser,Katrin Premke,Arthur Gessler,Ruth H. Ellerbrock,Carsten Hoffmann,Andreas Kleeberg,Zachary Kayler +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated patterns of organic carbon (OC) content, polyvalent cations, and isotopic values for specific OM fractions along transects spanning topographic positions from erosional to depositional areas, including aquatic sediments within a single kettle hole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visualizing land-use and management complexity within biogeochemical cycles of an agricultural landscape.
TL;DR: In this article, the isotopic signal of plant, soil, and sediment organic matter across the landscape was mapped over 1500 plant and soil isotopic values and generated an isotopic landscape (isoscape) over a 40 km2 agricultural site in NE Germany.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping patterns of mineral alteration in volcanic terrains using ASTER data and field spectrometry in Southern Peru
Melanie Brandmeier,Stefan Erasmi,Christian T. Hansen,A. Höweling,Kai Nils Nitzsche,T. Ohlendorf,M. Mamani,Gerhard Wörner +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) data and field spectrometry for mineral mapping in selected Miocene to Quaternary volcanic areas in Southern Peru to better characterize and understand the Tertiary volcanic evolution in this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using 87Sr/86Sr Ratios to Date Fossil Methane Seep Deposits: Methodological Requirements and an Example from the Great Valley Group, California
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the using strontium isotope stratigraphy to date fossil methane seep carbonates via detailed petrographic and geochemical investigation of the different carbonate phases in biostratigraphically well-dated SEP carbonates of Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic age.
