Mapping of residual soil nitrate in a diversified cropping system using multi-source sensing data and stacked ensemble learning

Authors: Md Tawhid Hossain, Santiago Tamagno, Sonoko D. Bellingrath-Kimura, Kathrin Grahmann

Abstract: Spatial mapping of residual soil nitrate (NO3-) after harvest is essential for targeted nitrogen (N) management and reducing leaching risk. Specifically, predicting NO3- in spatially diversified cropping systems is challenging because soil properties, crop types, and fertilization rates vary between and adjacent crops.

Construction-induced soil compaction in agri-photovoltaic systems: evidence from an Arenosol

Authors: Kathrin Grahmann, Tatiana Reis dos Santos Bastos, Marco Donat, Lina Rohlmann, Moritz Reckling

Agri-photovoltaic (Agri-PV) systems, which combine crop production with solar energy generation, are rapidly expanding across Europe, yet their implications for soil quality remain poorly understood. This study assessed soil compaction following the installation of an Agri-PV system in autumn 2024 on an Arenosol in Brandenburg, Germany.

From points to patterns: effects of small-scale diversification of arable land use on bird habitat use

Authors: Jenny Kröcher, Kathrin Grahmann, Michael Glemnitz, Silke Dachbrodt-Saaydeh, Thomas Kunze, Franco Ehlert, Gunnar Lischeid

Context: The persistent decline of farmland bird populations across European agricultural landscapes has been linked to agricultural intensification and landscape homogenisation, making cropping system diversification an important conservation strategy.
