Why soil matters? A European perspective Gut Krauscha Hans-Joachim Mautschke

Gut Krauscha – an example for aktive climate protection Gut Krauscha Hans-Joachim Mautschke

 Humus accumulation  Higher nitrogen fixation of legumes  Reduction of soil erosion  Increased carbon stocks in soil and plant mass  Reduction of greenhouse gases  Saving of fossil fuels 3 Soil and climate benefit from organic farming!

 Aim is to demonstrate that organic farming is climate- friendly and can be optimized by applying innovative farming practices  12 demonstration farms in different climate-zones adjusting their farming practices Supported by the LIFE+ programme 4 SOLMACC

Natural landscape:  East German Lowlands/Niederlausitzer older moraine Soils:  Sandy brown earths, podzols, sandy gleysol, stagnosols on clay  Groundwater determinedd sands and clay floodplain sands Agriculture - Geology Total:ca. 400  Farmland:235  Grassland:120  Wood: 20  Other: 17 Source: mons/c/cc/Bodenprofil_Grunewald.jpg Sandy brown earth

 High proportion of clover in crop rotation  Agroforestry  Composting  In the SOLMACC project Bioland is optimizing best practice through innovative procedures. 6 Three activities – examples of practical climate protection

Wheat gyro: Clover grass Wheat + undersowing Winter pea / rye or triticale + undersowing Oats or spring barley + undersowing Sand gyro: Clover grass Rye or triticale or lupine + undersowing Clay gyro: Alfalfa/Lucerne Dinkel or winter barley + undersowing Spring barley or oats + undersowing Agriculture– crop rotation with gras clover

 Hedges and field shrubbery  Energetic utilization  Aim of usage  Rejuvenate and preserve  Optimize recycling management (-> compost management) Agroforestry – CO 2 sink, fossil fuel savings

 Meadow cut partly from nature conservation measures  Aim of usage  Obtaining grazing areas  Compost for arable land Compost management – Close cycles efficiently
