As part of PhytOakmeter platform (www.phytoakmeter.de), soil chemical parameters were determined in 2016, 2018, 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).

Der Datensatz enthält die statistischen Kennzahlen (z.B. Mittelwert, Perzentile, Maximum) für etwa 250 Messstellen in Fließ- und Übergangsgewässern (LAWA Messstellennetz) sowie Angaben zu den Messstellen. Die Daten sind Grundlage für die Auswertungen der Applikation „Fließgewässer - Nährstoffe und Salze“ (siehe auf der rechten Seite unter "Download-Links").
This dataset provides information on soil chemistry and soil bulk density as part of the Grassworks project, which investigates the restoration of species-rich grasslands in Germany. Grasslands are globally threatened ecosystems, and the project aims to identify factors that contribute to successful restoration, focusing on ecological complexity and stakeholder engagement. Data was collected from 187 grassland sites across three regions in Northern, Central, and Southern Germany, each with distinct socio-economic and ecological characteristics. Sampling occurred between 2022 and 2023 and included 40–41 restored grassland sites and 20–25 reference sites (10–12 positive, 10–13 negative) per region. At each site in March or early April at each vegetation plot per subtransect, we took soil samples (pooled from six soil cores, 20 mm diameter) that were further pooled into one sample per site (24 in total) and analyzed for total soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen content, pH, and soil texture. Additionally, soil bulk density was measured at vegetation plots per site, to enable future assessment of carbon sequestration over time. Soil and bulk density samples were taken at two depths: 0–10 and 10–30 cm.
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.

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.
