The impact of manuring on nitrogen isotope ratios in cereals: archaeological implications for reconstruction of diet and crop management practices
TL;DR: The results from two long-term experiments demonstrate that manuring significantly raises δ 15 N in cereal grain and chaff, and of charring on these cereal values, and indicates that human diets with a major component of such grain would conventionally be interpreted as indicating a largely animal-based diet or a mixed plant/animal diet.

Manuring and stable nitrogen isotope ratios in cereals and pulses: towards a new archaeobotanical approach to the inference of land use and dietary practices
Rebecca Fraser,Amy Bogaard,Tim H.E. Heaton,Michael Charles,Glynis Jones,Bent T. Christensen,Paul Halstead,Ines Merbach,Paul R. Poulton,Debbie L. Sparkes,Amy Styring +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of animal manure application on the δ15N values of a broad range of crops (cereals and pulses), under a range of manuring levels/regimes and at a series of locations extending from northwest Europe to the eastern Mediterranean, was explored.

Chernozem-soil of the year 2005.
TL;DR: For example, Chernozems and Chernozem-like soils make up approximately 3% of the surface area and 5% (approx. 11,000 km2) of the arable land in Germany as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the results from 20 European long-term experiments (LTE), mainly from the first decade of the twenty-first century, are presented, and the included LTEs from 17 sites are the responsibility of institutional members of the International Working Group of Long-term Experiments in the IUSS.

Phytoremediation potential of twelve wild plant species for toxic elements in a contaminated soil.
Vasileios Antoniadis,Sabry M. Shaheen,Hans-Joachim Stärk,Rainer Wennrich,Efi Levizou,Ines Merbach,Jörg Rinklebe +6 more
TL;DR: Herbaceous species were collectively more efficient than grasses in PTE uptake combined by high biomass accumulation; thus, they may act as key-species in a phytoremediation-related concept.
