Wirkungen des Ökologischen Landbaus auf Bodenerosion – Beitrag 2: Einfluss des Leguminosenmangements auf Merkmale der Bodenerodibilität

Abstract

It is supposed that organic farming reduces soil water erosion due to a long soil coverage and soil aggregation by roots and organic manure. In a long term field trial\ud which is focused on the effect of legume management in different crop rotations soil aggregation in the top layer of 0-5 cm was tested and correlated with some other soil properties and indicators of carbon balances. There are differences in aggregate stability between the crop rotations. The incorporated plant material (roots, stubble residues, green manure) has the best effect on the stability of soil aggregates
