An integrated assessment of the potential of different management practices for mitigating
specific components of the total GHG budget (N 2 O and CH 4 emissions and C …

The extent and causes of chemical, physical and biological degradation of soil, and of soil
loss, vary greatly in different countries in Western Europe. The objective of this review paper …

Adoption of no-till management on croplands has become a controversial approach for
storing carbon in soil due to conflicting findings. Yet, no-till is still promoted as a …

Soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) assessments at a national level are essential in the
climate change mitigation role. Our study provides the first assessment of the SOC stored in …

Ecological indicators are herculean contrivance for assessing management practices'
impacts on environmental changes. Soil organic carbon (SOC) potentially regulates the …

Soil microorganisms participate in soil carbon cycling and they are affected by tillage and
straw returning. In this experiment, a split-plot design was adopted beginning in 2002. The …

The role of soils in the global carbon cycle and in reducing GHG emissions from agriculture
has been increasingly acknowledged. The '4 per 1000'(4p1000) initiative has become a …

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of different long term soil managements on
soil organic matter (SOM) quantity and quality in a semi-arid Mediterranean dehesa-like …

Mouldboard ploughing is known to accelerate soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization rate
in Mediterranean regions. Long-term reduced tillage intensity potentially diminishes soil …

Intensive tillage-based agricultural system is a major cause of soil deterioration and
reduction in agricultural productivity in the semiarid areas of northern Iraq. A twoyear (2009 …
