EGU General Assembly 2023

A summary of the contributions of the working group Geomorphology and Soil Science

After a fully-loaded but successful week in Vienna, our PostDocs and PhD-students returned from the EGU General Assembly 2023 by train. Presenting our results to a big audience live after three years of Corona-related restrictions was a great experience. The extensive feedback and new contacts made showed once again the value of face-to-face meetings for scientific networking.
We will come back on April 14 - 19, 2024.

Seven oral and poster presentations were given in the course of the week.

Corinna Gall:
Water-related soil-moss interactions at different scales [Link]

Nafiseh Kakhani & Ndiye Kebonye:

  • Exploring the ‘Individual Treatment Effects’ (ITE) of Vegetation with Causal Inference on Soil Organic Carbon Prediction in Germany [Link]
  • Topography and climate dictate soil NPK stoichiometry across Africa [Link]

Kerstin Rau:
How can we quantify, explain and apply the uncertainty of complex soil maps predicted with neural networks? [Link]

Nicolas Riveras:
How do biocrusts modulate erosion along different climatic conditions?

Steffen Seitz:

  • Vegetation diversity and plant traits affect throughfall partitioning and subsequent splash erosion in managed woodlands [Link]
  • Concentrative drop impacts by a bunch of canopy drips: hotspots of soil erosion in forest [Link]

Ruhollah Taghizadeh:
Quantification of uncertainty using artificial neural networks for mapping of soil properties in Germany [Link]

Session
Vegetation and canopies: Effects on erosion and hydrological, pedological, biogeochemical processes and patterns
Co-organized by HS2/BG3/SSS8 Convener: Johanna Clara Metzger & Steffen Seitz
