Organic amendments increase crop yields by improving microbe-mediated soil functioning of agroecosystems: A meta-analysis
Although numerous studies suggest that organic amendments are better at maintaining soil
fertility and crop production than mineral-only fertilization, it is unclear if this occurs in …
