| After reclamation of open-cast mining pits, soil formation starts from the deposited calcareous loess characterised by its basic physical and chemical properties whereas soil biology and structure need to develop to achieve a fully functional soil. In this study we used a chronosequence approach to elucidate soil formation on agriculturally reclaimed loess soils in an open-cast lignite mining area in Garzweiler (Germany). We selected six fields aged 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 years after the first seeding in order to observe the initial stage of development of soil properties and assess the role of management with conventional crop rotation in soil structure formation and soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation. Loess parent material had a strong impact on... |

| Soil organic matter (SOM) and organic glues from biological processes are considered to be major contributors inaggregate formation. But there is limited knowledge on soil structural formation during initial soil development –the step when SOM content is low and soil properties are mostly controlled by the parent material. In our study we used a chronosequence approach in the re-cultivated open-cast mining area near Cologne, Germany to elucidate thedevelopment of soil structure and soil organic matter during initial soil formation in a loess material. We selectedsix plots with different ages of agricultural management after re-cultivation (0, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 years after firstseeding). In each plot 12 spatially independent locations were sampled with... |
