In the biosphere reserves of Schorfheide Chorin and Spreewald, Fed. State of Brandenburg, Germany, actually a program for the monitoring of the ecosystems is going to be installed, according to the MAB criteria. Our working group is concerned with the monitoring of the farmland, grassland and peats (natural fens and drained peats). In this paper we present the selected ecosystem -- landuse -- combinations of the peats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drainage is essential to the agricultural use of peat soils. This however, leads to pedogenesis which in most cases takes an unfavourable vourse and often ends up in the complete exhaustion of the peat body. Findings regarding the factors that affect those processes and their course in time are presented in the paper. Unlike soil and substrate types of mineral soils, the soil and substrate types of fens develop within very short periods of time. Attention is drawn to the development of sequential mineral and organic soils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Elke Schul, is appointed as the new editor of the "Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science." Peter Kundler has retired as Editor-in -chief of the journal after more than three decades of committed, responsible and successful work. Since 1972 he continuously enhanced the international status of the journal, which is reflected in the growing number of English language contributions from authors of various nationalities. The aims and scope of the journal will be maintained, publishing papers on methodological and applied research within the wide range of agronomy and soil science including ecological and environmental aspects.

Typified soils were developed for the water balance simulation of the Stöbber creek catchment. The occuring soil types within the catchment were listed and most frequently soil profiles created according to substrate, horizon stratification and thickness. Soil physical properties were estimated for the horizons. Both measured and estimated soil data based on pedotransfer procedures were used. The soil data were tested at reference soil profiles by comparing of soil hydrological field measurements with simulation results of deep seepage. As the results show, using measured soil data it is not necessary to produce sufficiently accurate simulation results of the vertical one dimensional water transport. Estimating soil hydrological data based on average substrate/horizon properties as well as using pedotransfer functions produced satisfactorily results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
