Cover crops do not increase soil organic carbon stocks as much as has been claimed: What is the way forward?
When compared to virgin land (forest and grassland), croplands store significantly lower
amounts of organic carbon (OC), mainly as a result of soil tillage, and decreased plant inputs …

Assessing the phosphorus cycle in European agricultural soils: Looking beyond current national phosphorus budgets
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for all crops, yet its excess negatively affects public
health, the environment, and the economy. At the same time, rock P is a critical raw material …

Cover crops and deep‐soil C accumulation: What does research show after 10 years?
H Blanco‐Canqui, P Jasa… - Soil Science Society …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The extent to which cover crops (CCs) accumulate soil organic carbon (SOC) in the entire
soil profile is still unclear. We measured SOC, permanganate oxidizable C (POX‐C), and …
