Prehistoric settlement activities changed soil pH, nutrient availability, and growth of contemporary crops in Central Europe

Original language description

Background and aims How prehistoric human settlement activities have changed soil chemical properties,plant nutrition and growth of contemporary crops is a question that has not been satisfactorily addressed. The aim of this paper was to study to what extent nutrient availability in the soil, together with nutrition and growth of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare), improved on sites of former sunken buildings (cropmarks) in comparison to their surroundings (controls) 1,700 years after abandonment of the buildings. Methods In the Czech Republic, a unique prehistoric settlement with many sunken buildings was discovered during aerial reconnaissance from cropmarks in stands of cereals. Soil and biomass samples were collected from cropmarks and controls in a barley crop in June 2012. Results A substantially higher content of organic matter,higher pH and concentrations of plant-available (Mehlich III) P, Ca, Mg, Cu and Zn were recorded in the sub-soil layer in cropmarks compared with controls,i
