Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how introducing temporary grassland into annual crop rotations impacts five key soil ecosystem services, including soil structure maintenance, water regulation, biodiversity conservation, pathogen regulation, and forage production and quality.
- - Three different crop rotation schemes were tested over twelve years, varying the percentage of grassland—0%, 50%, and 75%—to observe the effects on soil and ecosystem services.
- - Results indicated that increasing the grassland proportion improved soil structure and biodiversity but did not significantly affect water regulation, pathogen control, or forage production; higher grassland percentages showed stronger positive impacts on soil maintenance and biodiversity.
A checklist of the German earthworm fauna (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) is presented, including published data, data from reports, diploma- and PhD- theses as well as unpublished data from museum collections, research institutions and private persons. Overall, 16,000 datasets were analyzed to produce the first German checklist of Lumbricidae. The checklist comprises 46 earthworm species from 15 genera and provides ecological information, zoogeographical distribution type and information on the species distribution in Germany.
