Subsurface drainage systems represent one of the most significant land-reclamation measures in many countries worldwide. Nevertheless, the availability of spatially explicit maps of drainage pipes is very limited or entirely absent. These historical materials, however, constitute the most accurate and comprehensive source of information on the respective drainage systems. Their availability is a prerequisite for responsible agricultural land management and for any interventions in the drainage infrastructure. In this study, we conducted an analysis of the availability and condition of project documentation with the objective of delineating the...

This study evaluated the long-term effects of mineral and organic fertilisation on Mn dynamics during 22 years of maize monoculture cultivated on silty loam Haplic Luvisol in the Czech Republic. Nine fertilisation treatments, including unfertilized control, mineral fertilisers, and organic amendments, were evaluated. Soil analyses included pH and contents of readily available Mn (MnH2O), potentially available Mn (MnM3), and pseudo-total Mn (MnAR). Long-term ammonium-based fertilisation significantly decreased soil pH, with the strongest acidification observed under ammonium sulphate, where pH declined from 6.20...
