Environmental problems related to the use of synthetic fertilizers and to organic waste
management have led to increased interest in the use of organic materials as an alternative …

Agriculture is not only appointed to produce food but has the potential to provide a range of
ecosystem services (ES) depending on the management options adopted at field scale …

Mediterranean croplands are seasonally dry agroecosystems with low soil organic carbon
(SOC) content and high risk of land degradation and desertification. The increase in SOC is …

Regenerative agriculture (RA) is gaining increasing recognition as a plausible solution to
restore degraded agroecosystems. In Mediterranean drylands, RA is at incipient state of …

In orchard systems, organic amendments and cover crops may enhance soil organic carbon
(SOC) and total nitrogen (STN) stocks, but on a global scale a comprehensive …

The incorporation of cover crops in orchards and vineyards can increase soil organic carbon
(OC) and improve nitrogen (N) availability. This study compared how three herbaceous …

Organic fertilization has been proposed as an alternative approach to supply nutrients for
crops, in the frame of organic and sustainable agriculture, with the aim to decrease high …

Abstract Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is considered a proxy of soil health, contributing to food
production, mitigation, and adaptation to climate change and other ecosystem services …

There is an increasing body of studies that show that land use intensification and
homogenisation in agriculture landscapes, aimed at increasing food provisioning, decline …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) management is key for soil fertility and for mitigation and
adaptation to climate change, particularly in desertification-prone areas such as …
