No-till is often referred to as a climate change mitigation option, possibly with a stronger
conviction, than as a practice to manage soil organic C (SOC) content. We conducted a …

The irrigation systems of the Ebro valley can lead to high N 2 O emissions. The effects that
crop diversification, such as double-cropping in combination with conservation tillage and …

Understanding the relationship between soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and nitrous
oxide (N 2 O) fluxes is crucial for sustainable land management. In this study, we examined …

Soil is an important reservoir of innumerable natural and biological resources fundamental
to the sustainability of life and the earth's functionality. The soil is complex due to changing …

Context The use of alfalfa in rotation with intensive crops is common practice to mitigate the
physical and chemical issues arising from intensive farming practices. However, there is a …

Microscale alterations in soil physical characteristics resulting from long-term soil health
practices can contribute to changes in soil nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions. In this study, we …

Soil hydraulic properties and pore continuity are important parameters of soil quality and
may differ among tillage systems, crop rotations, and change over time. However, there are …

Aims The surface crust formed by the drop impact of rainfall and/or irrigation is a prevalent
characteristic in many Mediterranean soils. However, the temporal variation of soil hydraulic …

Maize is one of the main irrigated crops in northern Spain. However, the traditional cropping
system used for its cultivation has relied on intensive monoculture, demanding significant …

Machinery traffic and animal trampling can deform the soil and, consequently, impair soil
pore functioning. This study aimed to evaluate how soil structure affects the compressibility …
