The continuous agricultural soil monitoring program (BDF) by the Saxon State Office for Environment, Agriculture, and Geology (LfULG) is operational since 1995, collecting and analysing samples periodically from 60 monitoring sites across Saxony, Germany. This dataset provides physicochemical soil property data for 920 archive samples available from the Saxon soil information system FIS Boden, including soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, various total and extractable elemental contents, soil pH, cation exchange capacity, and particle size distribution. Additional soil physical data (bulk density, soil water retention) have been merged from undisturbed sample data, resulting in a total of 123 variables, though with varying availability. This dataset provides the majority of reference data for the mid-infrared soil spectral library for agricultural soils in Saxony, Germany.

As part of PhytOakmeter platform (www.phytoakmeter.de), soil chemical parameters were determined in 2016, 2020 and 2022. Soil pH was measured using a glass electrode in a 1:2.5 soil-to-0.01 M CaCl2 suspension after one hour of equilibration. Gravimetric soil moisture was assessed with a fully automated moisture analyzer (DBS60-3, KERN & SOHN GmbH, Balingen, Germany), here defined as soil moisture (MOI). Total nitrogen (TN) and total carbon (TC) contents in the soil were analyzed in triplicate through dry combustion using a Vario elemental analyzer (EL III, Elementar, Hanau, Germany), and the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (TC/TN) was subsequently calculated from these values. To evaluate the potentially bioavailable soil organic carbon and nitrogen for microbial activity, hot water-extractable carbon and nitrogen (HWC and HWN, respectively) were determined following the methods of Ghani et al. (2003) and Schulz et al. (2011). Additionally, the labile organic carbon and nitrogen easily decomposable by soil microorganisms were measured as cold water-extractable carbon (CWC) and nitrogen (CWN) based on procedures described by Zsolnay (1996), Zakharova et al. (2015), and Schmidt et al. (2017). Ammonium and nitrate (NH4±N and NO3—N, respectively) were quantified, with their sum representing the total mineral nitrogen content (Nmin).
The Lower Saxony Water Management, Coastal and Nature Protection Agency regularly monitors nutrient concentrations (including silicates, nitrate, and phosphate) and other physico-chemical parameters such as temperature and salinity in the East Frisian Wadden Sea. This dataset provides detailed data on physical and chemical properties in the East Frisian Wadden Sea surface waters from 2019 to 2022. A total of 17 stations are sampled from a monthly to weekly frequency. Water samples are taken at the surface with a bucket, and kept in 5L canisters to be stored in the cold and dark until analysis. The analysis of nutrients followed the procedures for seawater analysis given by Grasshoff et al. (1976). Dissolved nutrients, such as orthophosphate, nitrate, nitrite and silicate, were measured photometrically. Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentration were estimated by digesting total nutrients using heat and pressure, or in microwave with peroxodisulfate. The pH, salinity, and temperature were measured using a multisensor.
Within the framework of MOSES (Modular Observation Solutions for Earth Systems) and ElbeXtreme, we performed three longitudinal sampling campaigns in the Elbe catchment in 2024. The campaigns covered the German freshwater part, the tidal Elbe river, and the German Bight. Here we present the results of the freshwater river where the sampling was conducted in a Langrangian way according to flow velocity. Physico-chemical and biological parameters were measured along the Elbe from bridges between Bad Schandau (km 12, Czech-German border) and Lauenburg (km 570, close to Hamburg). A particular scientific focus was on (1) nutrients and eutrophication, (2) composition of dissolved organic matter measured by high-resolution mass spectrometry, (3) greenhouse gas measurements, and (4) micropollutants. This was done during a winter flood event in January, a summer drought in July, and a second smaller flood in September 2024.

Der Klimawandel bewirkt auch eine Erwärmung des Bodens, wodurch es zu einem verstärkten Abbau der organischen Substanz kommt. Dies könnte zu einem der stärksten Feedback-Mechanismen des Klimawandels werden, da durch diesen Prozess große Mengen CO2 emittiert würden. Ob tatsächlich Böden in sämtlichen Ökosysteme bei anhaltender Erwärmung zu Netto-CO2 Quellen werden, ist allerdings umstritten und sehr unsicher. Die am Umsatz der organischen Substanz beteiligten biogeochemischen Prozesse, und deren Änderung durch Erwärmung sind nicht im Detail verstanden. Dies liegt vor allem an den Schwierigkeiten der experimentellen Umsetzung von Bodenerwärmung. Besonders über lange Zeiträume, sowie in Unterböden, gibt es global kaum Beobachtungen zur Wirkung von Bodenerwärmung. Gerade ersteres erschwert die Abschätzung von neuen Gleichgewichtszuständen. Auch sogenannte Kipppunkte sind mit einer einzigen Erwärmungsstufe nicht zu ermitteln. Im Projekt AWESOME soll ein natürlicher (geothermaler) Erwärmungsgradient im kanadischen Yukon Territory genutzt werden, um wesentliche Erkenntnisse über die komplexen Wirkungen von Erwärmung auf die Interkation zwischen autotrophen und heterotrophen Organismen und der Mineralphase zu gewinnen. Erste Ergebnisse aus Voruntersuchungen zeigten, dass sich in dem geothermal erwärmten Boden unter subarktischem Laubwald Kohlenstoff um bis zu 22% reduziert war, während der Gesamtstickstoff im Boden unverändert blieb. Dabei kam es allerdings zu einer Stabilisierung des Stickstoffs in organischer Substanz an der Mineralphase. Vier Erwärmungsstufen mit einer Temperaturspanne von 8°C sind bereits etabliert und ein in-situ Mikrokosmenexperiment mit isotopisch markierter Streu wurde bereits im Sommer 2019 gestartet. Ein grundlegend verbessertes Verständnis dieser Beobachtungen und der Wirkung von jahrhundertelanger Erwärmung im Boden auf Umsetzungsprozesse der organischen Bodensubstanz soll durch dieses Projekt gewonnen werden. Sowohl Veränderungen der Vegetation und des Kohlenstoffeintrags, als auch der mikrobiellen Physologie, Gemeinschaft, deren Anpassung sowie der Qualität der organischen Bodensubstanz stehen im Fokus. Änderungen der Hydrologie (Bodenfeuchte) sowie der Mineralogie (Verwitterung) sollen als erklärende Variablen ebenfalls über den gesamten Erwärmungsgradienten abgebildet werden. Mit Hilfe mehrerer Kooperationspartner, modernsten Methoden der bodenkundlichen und mikrobiellen Forschung sowie einem idealen Versuchsstandort soll das Projekt AWESOME wichtige Fortschritte in einem zentralen Zukunftsthema liefern. Die Ergebnisse werden schließlich in Bezug zu einem weiteren geothermalen Erwärmungsexperiment auf Island gesetzt, um Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten herauszuarbeiten.
This dataset presents a mid-Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (mid-DRIFTS) Soil Spectral Library (SSL) for agricultural soils in Saxony, Germany. The SSL was developed using archive soil samples from the Soil Monitoring Program of the State Office for Environment, Agriculture, and Geology (LfULG). A total of 123 physicochemical soil properties (with varying availability) are included in the presented dataset, covering soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, various total and extractable elemental contents, soil pH, cation exchange capacity, particle size distribution, bulk density and soil water retention. In addition to archive samples, the dataset includes supplementary soil samples collected during an intensive sampling campaign in September 2023, which also incorporates soil physical properties data. Mid-IR spectra were recorded from 7500 cm-1 to 400 cm⁻¹, using a Bruker Alpha II DRIFT. All samples were (re-) analysed using stepped thermal analysis according to DIN 19539 / DIN EN17505. The presented SSL was built as part of the LfULG project FuE 42-Z771/2 and constitutes the foundation for integrating quantitative mid-DRIFTS as an analytical tool in Saxony's agricultural soil monitoring program.
The Sternfahrt-10 of the MOSES campaign, from 29th August until the 15th of September 2023, had two objectives. One was to follow the dispersion of pollutants transported by the Elbe water into the North Sea, previously observed during the Elbe-Freshwater and Elbe-Tidal cruises. And second the distribution of the Elbe water within the German Bight. Therefore, drifter groups were deployed to follow individual water parcels. Those drifters were followed subsequently by three ships (RV Ludwig Prandtl, RV Littorina, RV Mya II), to extend the time period of measurements. Along the tracks, water samples were taken close to the drifters, alternatively at stations from previous cruises, resulting in 12 to 24 sampling points per week. In terms to detect the concentration of a variety of nutrients and carbon compounds from the south-eastern North Sea up to the island Amrum. Additionally, basic hydrographic parameters and greenhouse gases were sampled continuously throughout the whole cruise. Those results are not part of the present dataset, but can be found here, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.971874. To ensure the comparability of the measured parameters a transportable container laboratory was passed from ship to ship always equipped with the same sensor systems. Just for specific water samples some special equipment was added. A map of the different tracks as well as information about the used sensors and data treatment, you can find in the additional material. For more detailed information about the MOSES Project and the cruise Sternfahrt-10, see the article cited in references.
