The Long-Term Fertilization Trials in Halle (Saale), Germany: A Tool for Sustainable and Environmentally Compatible Land Management- Contributions of ... Nutrition Science in Halle 13 Second Edition

Due to their buffer capacity, soils and ecological systems usually react gradually to different land use or climatic changes. Hence, effects are often quantifiable only after many decades. Long-term field experiments make it possible to recognize such long-term effects, which are caused e.g. by different fertilization treatments, for the respective location. This knowledge is essential for developing sustainable and ecologically desirable management concepts.
