The maintenance of soil health in agro-ecosystems is essential for sustaining agricultural
productivity. Through its positive impacts on various soil physical and biological processes …

A promising option to sequester carbon in agricultural soils is the inclusion of cover crops in
cropping systems. The advantage of cover crops as compared to other management …

Soil is the largest terrestrial reservoir of organic carbon and is central for climate change
mitigation and carbon-climate feedbacks. Chemical and physical associations of soil carbon …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

Including cover crops within agricultural rotations may increase soil organic carbon (SOC).
However, contradictory findings generated by on-site experiments make it necessary to …

Organic farming is often considered a strategy that increases croplands' soil organic carbon
(SOC) stock. However, organic farms currently occupy only a small fraction of cropland, and …

Cover crops (CCs) can increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration by providing
additional OC residues, recruiting beneficial soil microbiota, and improving soil aggregation …

Climate prediction models suggest that agricultural productivity will be significantly affected
in the future. The expected rise in average global temperature due to the higher release of …

Improving soil physical properties is important to soil conservation. Cover cropping can
improve soil physical properties and organic matter content which can reduce soil loss, and …

Afforestation plays an important role in soil carbon storage and water balance. However,
there is a lack of information on deep soil carbon and water storage. The study investigates …
