This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of no-till (NT) based on recent studies
(post-2000) in NW Europe and evaluates the separate effect of the NT and other associated …

Implications of no-till (NT) management on soil C dynamics, soil fertility, and crop yields
have been discussed, but an up-to-date synthesis of NT impact on soil physical properties …

Cropping sequence diversification provides a systems approach to reduce yield variations
and improve resilience to multiple environmental stresses. Yield advantages of more diverse …

The Dexter “S-value”(Sgi) is a promising new indicator of soil physical quality (SPQ), but it is
not well tested against established indicators, such as relative field capacity (RFC), plant …

This review gathers and synthesizes literature on soil friability produced during the last three
decades. Soil friability is of vital importance for crop production and the impact of crop …

Tillage and rotation are fundamental factors influencing soil quality and thus the
sustainability of cropping systems. Many studies have focused on the effects of either tillage …

Optimal use of management systems including tillage and winter cover crops is
recommended to improve soil quality and sustain agricultural production. The effects on soil …

Sustainable agriculture should be based on management practices that improve resource
usage efficiency and minimize harmful impacts on the environment while maintaining and …

Application of visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for prediction of soil
properties may offer a cost and time effective approach for evaluation of soil structural …

A near real-time evaluation of the management system's impact on soil conditions requires a
quick and straightforward framework to help farmers with a reliable on-farm assessment. The …
