The emission of nutrients and pesticides from agricultural soils endangers natural habitats.
Here, we review to which extent carbon-rich organic amendments help to retain nutrients …

To respect the Paris agreement targeting a limitation of global warming below 2° C by 2100,
and possibly below 1.5° C, drastic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions are mandatory …

Manure application to agricultural soils is widely considered as a source of nutrients and a
method of maintaining levels of soil organic carbon (SOC) to mitigate climate change. At …

Biochar application to soil has the potential to sequester carbon in the long term because of
its high stability and large-scale production potential. However, biochar technologies are still …

Although numerous studies suggest that organic amendments are better at maintaining soil
fertility and crop production than mineral-only fertilization, it is unclear if this occurs in …

The international 4 per 1000 initiative aims at supporting states and non-governmental
stakeholders in their efforts towards a better management of soil carbon (C) stocks. These …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for soil fertility and climate change mitigation, and
carbon can be sequestered in soil through proper soil management, including straw return …

Widespread adoption of improved cropland management measures is advocated to
increase soil organic carbon (SOC) levels, thereby improving soil fertility and mitigating …

Sustainable agricultural management implies optimization of resources for crop production
while minimizing adverse impacts on the environment. This requires a better understanding …

Abstract We evaluated the “4 per 1000” initiative for increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) by
analysing rates of SOC increase in treatments in 16 long‐term experiments in southeast …
