While long-term effects indicate a new steady state at the DOK trial site, differences at the other field trials suggest that fresh manure at the Bonn trial and chicken manure at the UK sites are at least temporarily advantageous, probably due to their relatively fast mineralization. 2007 Conference paper, poster, etc. NonPeerReviewed application/pdf http://orgprints.org/9531/1/fliessbach-etal-2007-soil_biological_quality.pdf Fließbach, Andreas; Schmidt, Christoph; Bruns, Christian; Palmer, Mike; Nietlispach, Bruno; Leifert, Carlo and Tamm, Lucius (2007) Soil biological quality in short- and long-term field trials with conventional and organic fertility input types. 3rd QLIF Congress: Improving Sustainability in Organic and Low Input Food Production Systems, University of Hohenheim, Germany, March 20-23, 2007. http://orgprints.org/9531/http://orgprints.org/9531/1/
