In the last few days two papers have been published that fit together very nicely and have given us deeper insights into the dynamics of soil carbon after organic matter inputs differing in qualtiy and quantity. Christopher Poeplau first author of one paper and involved in the other paper.

Mareille Wittnebel, Stefan Frank, Bärbel Tiemeyer: Aktualisierte Kulisse organischer Böden in Deutschland (Thünen Working Paper 212 - OpenAgrar - Thünen-Atlas)

Our deputy head of institute Axel Don has been awarded the title "Extraordinary Professorship" by the Technical University of Braunschweig.
