Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Soil Extracellular Enzyme Activities by Clay Minerals—Perspectives on Microbial Responses
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of different montmorillonite contents on extracellular enzymes (EEs) was studied, using two experiments: an adsorption experiment with a commercially available enzyme (α-glucosidase) and an incubation experiment where microorganisms were stimulated to produce enzymes through organic carbon (OC) addition (starch and cellulose).
Journal ArticleDOI
The multilayer model of soil mineral–organic interfaces—a review
Jiajia Gao,Jiajia Gao,Robert Mikutta,Boris Jansen,Georg Guggenberger,Cordula Vogel,Karsten Kalbitz,Karsten Kalbitz +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of existing studies that used the multilayer model to explain biogeochemical processes at mineral-organic interfaces, and based on this, assess the applicability of the model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emissions intensity and carbon stocks of a tropical Ultisol after amendment with Tithonia green manure, urea and biochar.
Bernard Fungo,Bernard Fungo,Bernard Fungo,Johannes Lehmann,Karsten Kalbitz,Karsten Kalbitz,Moses M. Tenywa,Margaret Thionģo,Henry Neufeldt +8 more
TL;DR: Low fertility soils with biochar increased CO2 emissions, reduced CH4 soil uptake, and reduced N2O emissions, and biochar alone decreased SOC but increase it when applied together with urea and Tithonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
From Agricultural Byproducts to Value-Added Materials: Wheat Straw-Based Hydrogels as Soil Conditioners?
Katja Heise,Maximilian Kirsten,Yvonne Schneider,Doris Jaros,Harald Keller,Harald Rohm,Karsten Kalbitz,Steffen Fischer +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple synthetic approach to fabricate wheat straw-based hydrogels, starting from the unfractionated and carboxymethylated lignocellulosic matrix, was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron oxides and aluminous clays selectively control soil carbon storage and stability in the humid tropics
Maximilian Kirsten,Robert Mikutta,Cordula Vogel,Aaron Thompson,Carsten W. Mueller,Didas N. Kimaro,Huig L. T. Bergsma,Karl-Heinz Feger,Karsten Kalbitz +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors disentangled the contribution of clay-sized aluminous minerals (kaolinite, gibbsite) and pedogenic Fe (oxyhydr)oxides (predominant goethite and hematite) on organic carbon storage and stabilization under natural forests and croplands.
