Reducing the tillage intensity has been suggested as an alternative to conventional tillage for sustaining soil quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of soil tillage systems on individual soil quality indicators in comparison to those on grassland with Stagnic Luvisol soil in Estonia. Four soil management systems were compared: no-tillage (NT), minimum tillage (MT), conventional tillage (CT) and grassland (G) as a reference. Soil quality indicators included physical (bulk density, water-stable aggregates, porosity, air-filled pores, moisture content, water-holding capacity, penetration resistance and water permeability), chemical (total N, total soil organic C, permanganate oxidisable C, pH, P, K, Ca and Mg) and biological (earthworm abundance) parameters. CT soils had a significantly lower aggregate stability compared to MT and G soils. The higher penetration resistance of CT under an arable layer suggested the presence of a plough pan. NT improved the soil\u2019s physical quality at 5\u201310 cm, which was indicated by higher moisture content, water-holding capacity and porosity and a lower bulk density, whereas penetration resistance exceeded 2 MPa in the lower part of the topsoil. NT also had significantly lower total soil organic C and total N compared to MT and G. The absence of tillage in the NT and G systems may have improved the soil\u2019s resistance to moisture loss under dry conditions, which, in turn, improved the soil habitability for earthworms a despite higher density. In general, NT or MT stabilised or increased the soil quality compared to CT.</p></article>", "keywords": ["2.

Results suggest that substantial treatmeent differences may require a longer observation period. Notably, plots with microbial inoculation exhibited higher harvest weights and tuber sizes compared to control plots. Additionally, trends and interactions were found between weed abundance, total harvest, and plant height.

Este estudio examin\u00f3 los efectos de tres pr\u00e1cticas de labranza [arado convencional con vertedera (CT), azada manual (MT) y labranza sin labranza (NT)], y tres sistemas de cultivo (ma\u00edz continuo, rotaci\u00f3n anual de soja-ma\u00edz y cultivo intercalado de soja/ma\u00edz) en la calidad del suelo, la productividad de los cultivos y la rentabilidad en ensayos en finca administrados por investigadores y agricultores de 2010 a 2013 en el noroeste de Ghana. En el ensayo madre gestionado por el investigador, las pr\u00e1cticas de AC de NT, retenci\u00f3n de residuos y rotaci\u00f3n/intercalaci\u00f3n de cultivos mantuvieron un mayor carbono org\u00e1nico del suelo y N total del suelo en comparaci\u00f3n con las pr\u00e1cticas de labranza convencionales despu\u00e9s de 4 a\u00f1os. La densidad aparente del suelo fue mayor en los suelos NT que en los suelos CT en los senderos madre gestionados por el investigador o en los ensayos de beb\u00e9s gestionados por los agricultores despu\u00e9s de 4 a\u00f1os. En el ensayo madre gestionado por el investigador, no hubo diferencias significativas entre los sistemas de labranza o los sistemas de cultivo en los rendimientos de ma\u00edz o soja en las primeras tres temporadas. En la cuarta temporada, la rotaci\u00f3n de cultivos tuvo el mayor impacto en los rendimientos de ma\u00edz con ma\u00edz CT despu\u00e9s de que la soja aumentara los rendimientos en un 41 y 49% en comparaci\u00f3n con el ma\u00edz MT y NT, respectivamente. En los ensayos gestionados por los agricultores, el rendimiento del ma\u00edz oscil\u00f3 entre 520 y 2700 kg ha-1 y entre 300 y 2000 kg ha-1 para CT y NT, respectivamente, lo que refleja las diferencias en la experiencia de los agricultores con NT. En promedio entre los agricultores, los sistemas de cultivo CT aumentaron el rendimiento de ma\u00edz y soja en un rango de 23 a 39% en comparaci\u00f3n con los sistemas de cultivo NT. El an\u00e1lisis parcial del presupuesto mostr\u00f3 que el costo de producir ma\u00edz o soja es 20-29% m\u00e1s barato con los sistemas NT y da mayores rendimientos al trabajo en comparaci\u00f3n con la pr\u00e1ctica de CT. Las relaciones beneficio/coste tambi\u00e9n muestran que los sistemas de cultivo NT son m\u00e1s rentables que los sistemas CT. Concluimos que con el tiempo, la implementaci\u00f3n de pr\u00e1cticas de AC que involucran NT, rotaci\u00f3n de cultivos, cultivos intercalados de ma\u00edz y soja junto con la retenci\u00f3n de residuos de cultivos presenta un escenario de beneficio mutuo debido a la mejora del rendimiento de los cultivos, el aumento del rendimiento econ\u00f3mico y las tendencias de aumento de la fertilidad del suelo.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is crucial for maintaining a productive agro-ecosystem. Long-term research must be synthesized to understand the effects of land management on SOC storage and to develop best practices to prevent soil degradation. Therefore, this review compiled an inventory of long-term Ontario studies and assessed SOC storage under common Ontario land management regimes via a meta-analysis and literature review. In general, greater SOC storage occurred in no-till (NT) vs. tillage systems, in crop rotation vs. continuous corn, and in N fertilizer vs. no N fertilizer systems; however, soil texture and perhaps drainage class may determine the effects of tillage. The effect on SOC storage was variable when deeper soil depth ranges (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9345 cm) were considered for NT and rotational cropping, which suggests an unpredictable effect of land management on SOC at depths below the plough layer. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to use the presented inventory of nine long-term research sites and 18 active experiments in Ontario to pursue coordinated studies of long-term land management on SOC at depths extending below the plough layer. </p>", "keywords": ["meta-analysis", "soil organic carbon", "2.

Inversion tillage is a commonly applied soil cultivation practice in Europe, which often has been blamed for deteriorating topsoil stability and organic carbon (OC) content. In this study, the potential to reverse these negative effects in the topsoil by alternative agricultural management practices are evaluated in seven long-term experiments (running from 8 to 54\u00a0years the moment of sampling) in five European countries (Belgium, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy and UK). Topsoil samples (0\u201315\u2009cm) were collected and analysed to evaluate the effects of conservation tillage (reduced and no tillage) and increased organic inputs of different origin (farmyard manure, compost, crop residues) combined with inversion tillage on topsoil stability, soil aggregates and, within these, OC distribution using wet sieving after slaking. Effects from the treatments on the two main components of organic matter, i.e. particulate (POM) and mineral associated (MAOM), were also evaluated using dispersion and size fractionation. Reduced and no-tillage practices, as well as the additions of manure or compost, increased the aggregates mean weight diameter (MWD) (up to 49\u2009% at the Belgian study site) and topsoil OC (up to 51\u2009% at the Belgian study site), as well as the OC corresponding to the different aggregate size fractions. The incorporation of crop residues had a positive impact on the MWD but a less profound effect both on total OC and on OC associated with the different aggregates. A negative relationship between the mass and the OC content of the microaggregates (53\u2013250\u2009\u00b5m) was identified in all experiments. There was no effect on the mass of the macroaggregates and the occluded microaggregates (mM) within these macroaggregates, while the corresponding OC contents increased with less tillage and more organic inputs. Inversion tillage led to less POM within the mM, whereas the different organic inputs did not affect it. In all experiments where the total POM increased, the total soil organic carbon (SOC) was also affected positively. We concluded that the negative effects of inversion tillage on topsoil can be mitigated by reducing the tillage intensity or adding organic materials, optimally combined with non-inversion tillage methods.</p></article>", "keywords": ["2.

Within the SoilCare project, the concept of soil-improving cropping systems (SICS) was developed as a holistic approach to facilitate the adoption of soil management that is sustainable and profitable. SICS selected with stakeholders were monitored and evaluated for environmental, sociocultural, and economic effects to determine profitability and sustainability. Monitoring results were upscaled to European level using modelling and Europe-wide data, and a mapping tool was developed to assist in selection of appropriate SICS across Europe. Furthermore, biophysical, sociocultural, economic, and policy reasons for (non)adoption were studied. Results at the plot/farm scale showed a small positive impact of SICS on environment and soil, no effect on sustainability, and small negative impacts on economic and sociocultural dimensions. Modelling showed that different SICS had different impacts across Europe\u2014indicating the importance of understanding local dynamics in Europe-wide assessments. Work on adoption of SICS confirmed the role economic considerations play in the uptake of SICS, but also highlighted social factors such as trust.

Agricultural management practices affect some of these properties in an interdependent way. In this study, the impact of management-induced changes of soil organic carbon (SOC) on SWR is evaluated in five long-term experiments in Europe (running from 8 up to 54 years when samples were taken). Topsoil samples (0\u201315 cm) were collected and analysed to evaluate the effects of three different management categories, i.e., soil tillage, the addition of exogenous organic materials, the incorporation of crop residues affecting SOC and water content under a range of matric potentials. Changes in the total SOC up to 10 g C kg\u22121 soil (1%) observed for the different management practices, do not cause statistically significant differences in the SWR characteristics as expected. The direct impact of the SOC on SWR is consistent but negligible, whereas the indirect impact of SOC in the higher matric potentials, which are mainly affected by soil structure and aggregate composition, prevails. The different water content responses under the various matric potentials to SOC changes for each management group implies that one conservation measure alone has a limited effect on SWR and only a combination of several practices that lead to better soil structure, such as reduced soil disturbances combined with increased SOM inputs can lead to better water holding capacity of the soil.</p></article>", "keywords": ["no-till", "compost", "BULK-DENSITY", "Environmental Studies", "PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES", "Environmental Sciences & Ecology", "SEQUESTRATION", "3301 Architecture", "TILLAGE SYSTEMS", "4104 Environmental management", "PEDOTRANSFER FUNCTIONS", "FERTILIZATION", "soil care", "0502 Environmental Science and Management", "soil organic carbon; soil-water content; no-till; reduced tillage; manure; compost; soil care", "soil-water content", "2.
