Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing intensive, extensified and organic grassland farming in southern Germany by process life cycle assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared intensive, extensified and organic grassland farming in southern Germany by process life cycle assessment, and found that organic farms had clear advantages in the indicators of grassland species, grazing cattle, layout of farmstead and herd management, but indices in these categories showed a wide range and are partly independent of the farming system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Penetration resistance and root growth of oats in tilled and untilled loess soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the root growth in untilled and tilled soil was investigated in a tilled and an untilled grey brown podzolic loess soil, where the root density was linearly related to penetration resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological services of faba bean
Ulrich Köpke,Thomas Nemecek +1 more
TL;DR: The key environmental benefits of faba beans are their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen symbiotically under a broad spectrum of environmental conditions and making this renewable resource available to show positive precrop effects in diversified crop rotations as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Timo Kautz,Wulf Amelung,Frank Ewert,Thomas Gaiser,Rainer Horn,Reinhold Jahn,M. Javaux,Andreas Kemna,Yakov Kuzyakov,J.C. Munch,Stefan Pätzold,Stephan Peth,Heinrich W. Scherer,Michael Schloter,Heike U. Schneider,Jan Vanderborght,Doris Vetterlein,Achim Walter,Achim Walter,Guido L. B. Wiesenberg,Guido L. B. Wiesenberg,Ulrich Köpke +21 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of biopores in the nutrient acquisition from arable subsoils and found that subsoil can contribute to more than two-thirds of the plant nutrition of N, P and K, especially when the topsoil is dry or nutrient depleted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of traditional and biodynamic farmyard manure amendment on yields, soil chemical, biochemical and biological properties in a long-term field experiment
Johann G. Zaller,Ulrich Köpke +1 more
TL;DR: The results showed that plots which received either prepared or non-prepared FYM had significantly increased soil pH, P and K concentrations, microbial biomass, dehydrogenase activity, decomposition, earthworm cast production and altered earthworm community composition than plots without FYM application.
