Soil microbiomes drive key functions in agroecosystems, determining soil fertility, crop
productivity and stress tolerance. The microbiome is intricately linked with soil structure …

Soils act as sources and sinks for greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO 2),
methane (CH 4), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Since both storage and emission capacities may …

Cover crops have long been touted for their ability to reduce erosion, fix atmospheric
nitrogen, reduce nitrogen leaching, and improve soil health. In recent decades, there has …

Cover crops (CCs) can provide multiple soil, agricultural production, and environmental
benefits. However, a better understanding of such potential ecosystem services is needed …

Increasing the quantity and quality of plant biomass production in space and time can
improve the capacity of agroecosystems to capture and store atmospheric carbon (C) in the …

Cover crops have been increasingly grown for improving soil health and crop production
and minimizing environmental impact compared to no cover crop. Systematic documentation …

There is a great demand for high-protein materials for livestock feed in Europe and
