Crop management practices such as rotation, as well as climatic and edaphic factors,
modulate soil physical health. However, the overall magnitude of crop rotation benefits on …

Brazilian soil scientists have increased the use of the term “soil quality” in their scientific
publications in the last decade. However, it remains unclear if those publications only …

The concept of soil health has evolved over the past several decades, recognizing that
dynamic soil property response to management and land use is highly dependent on site …

Soil nitrogen (N) often limits productivity in agroecosystems, prompting fertilizer applications
that increase crop yields but can degrade the environment. Nitrogen's dual role in both …

Tillage intensity affects soil structure in many ways but the magnitude and type (+/−) of
change depends on site-specific (eg, soil type) and experimental details (crop rotation, study …

Returning crop straw, such as biochar, into the field is increasingly recognized as a valid,
environmentally-friendly agricultural strategy to improve soil quality, increase crop yields …

Agricultural practices should be carefully monitored for long-term impacts on soil quality to
avoid further deterioration in ecosystem services provided by soils. The aim of this study was …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) influences several soil functions, making it one of the most
important soil health indicators. Its quantity is determined by anthropogenic and inherent …

This paper provides an overview of the progress of tillage in Hungary. The local and
international impacts on the national practice are summarized, and some adoption of the …

Process-based modeling addressing soil tillage effect on soil hydraulic properties is scarce
since most assessments focus on static parameters (eg, bulk density, penetration resistance …
