Improving food security, environmental preservation and enhancing livelihood should be the
main targets of the innovators of today's farming systems. Conservation agriculture (CA) …

In the light of daunting global sustainability challenges such as climate change, biodiversity
loss and food security, improving our understanding of the complex dynamics of the Earth …

Implications of no-till (NT) management on soil C dynamics, soil fertility, and crop yields
have been discussed, but an up-to-date synthesis of NT impact on soil physical properties …

Adopting no-tillage in agro-ecosystems has been widely recommended as a means of
enhancing carbon (C) sequestration in soils. However, study results are inconsistent and …

Human efforts to produce ever-greater amounts of food leave their mark on our environment.
Persistent use of conventional farming practices based on extensive tillage, especially when …

There has been a growing interest in studying the labile C pool in order to promote the
sequestration and stabilization of soil organic carbon (SOC). Although labile SOC fractions …

Soil is the largest reservoir of carbon (C) in the terrestrial biosphere and a slight variation in
this pool could lead to substantial changes in the atmospheric CO2 concentration, thus …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle, while
tillage has been shown to significantly impact SOC stocks, its impact on the different SOC …

Shifting from high intensity (HT) to intermediate intensity (IT) or no tillage (NT) practices has
been credited as being a promising agricultural management option towards climate change …

Impacts of soil tillage and cover crops on soil carbon (C) dynamics and microbiological
function were investigated in a vineyard grown in California's mediterranean climate. We (1) …
