Decisions for agricultural management are taken at farm scale. However, such decisions may well impact upon regional sustainability. Two of the likely responses to future challenges extended use irrigation and increased production energy crops. The drivers these high commodity prices subsidy policies renewable energy. impacts sustainability unknown. Thus, we conducted integrated assessments intensification scenarios in federal state Brandenburg, Germany, 2025. One Irrigation scenario one...
The pleistocenic landscape in North Europe, Asia and America is spotted with thousands of natural ponds called kettle holes. They are biological biogeochemical hotspots. Due to small size, perimeter shallow depth processes holes closely linked the dynamics emissions terrestrial environment. On other hand, their intriguing high spatial temporal variability makes a sound understanding terrestrial-aquatic link very difficult. It presumed that intensive agricultural land use during last decades...
Trend analyses are widely used to check for climate change effects on hydrological systems. However, often inconsistent patterns have been found, that is, non-significant as well significant but opposing trends in the same data set. These inconsistencies ascribed local, mostly anthropogenic like wetland draining or land use change. In this study local were subtracted from time series of lake water level and groundwater head covering a 28 years period Northeast Germany. But did hardly affect...
Facing the challenges of European Water Framework Directive and competing demands requires a sound knowledge hydrological system. This is major challenge in regions like Northeast Germany. The landscape has been massively reshaped during repeated advances retreats glaciation Pleistocene. resulted complex setting unconsolidated sediments with high textural heterogeneity layered aquifer systems, partly confined, but usually unknown number extent single aquifers. Institute Landscape Hydrology...
Starting in 1993, interactions between land use and precipitation have been investigated three research areas of northeast Germany. The based on continuous measurements soil water tension content down to a depth 5 m at 36 plots situated diverse soils under different (arable land, forest, grass fallow). At arable sites, the main period deep seepage occurred February April during study period. With 175 mm a−1, mean annual rate was highest sandy soils. loamy soils, amounting 122 a−1 appeared...
Abstract Physical models are a well‐established tool in education to strengthen hydrological understanding. They facilitate the straightforward visualization of processes and allow communication concepts, research questions general interest public. In order visualize water cycle landscape postglacial sediments, particular subsurface part, physical model was constructed. two videos, (1) detailed construction manual (2) examples concepts presented. With our contribution, we like encourage...
A methodology is presented for identifying and assessing source areas of sediment, phosphorus nitrate emissions into surface waters river systems the South Baltic unconsolidated rock region by water erosion. This task included characterization pressures impacts in basins as an important milestone implementing EC Water Framework Directive set out 2004. The Nutrient Input Into River Systems (NIIRS) approach has been developed tested Odra basin Poland, Czech Republic Germany. Mesoscale...
