Jun 3, 2024 · The NTS system inclines to increase soil organic carbon and decrease the bulk density of soil, which might lead to lesser CH 4 emissions risk. Yeboah et al. (2016) stated that the degradation of soil can diminish the soil’s ability to oxidize or consume atmospheric methane by as much as 30–90%.
Mar 17, 2020 · The yield loss observed in the early years of CA adoption before improvements in SOC and associated structural/fertility improvements occur may also often reverse over time as soil properties and nutrient availability improve and farmers/researchers gain greater skills in managing the CA system (Araya et al., 2012; Soane et al., 2012; Brouder and Gomez-Macpherson, 2014; Pittelkow et al., 2015 ...
Sep 29, 2020 · These contrasting results attest to an important underlying factor that should be considered when using CCs to improve soil physical properties: climate. The same influence of CCs in improving soil water storage in humid and subhumid regions may be responsible for possible drainage and increased evapotranspiration in semi-arid and arid ...

Oct 31, 2024 · Agriculture has always resulted from available technology and the necessity to secure humanity’s food needs. In recent decades, a third factor has been recognized in this system—the environment. For centuries, a side effect of agricultural development has been environmental pollution and the uncontrolled use of natural resources. New legislation is being introduced worldwide to protect the ...
Nov 10, 2022 · The meta-analysis by Muchane et al. assessed soil-mediated ecosystem services from agroforestry and found that the agroforestry system exhibited a 50% lower soil erosion rate, 21% more SOC, 13% more N storage, 46% more available N, 11% more available P, and 2% higher pH as compared to monoculture systems due to improved infiltration, less runoff, a greater proportion of soil macroaggregates ...

Jan 1, 2024 · The world has been actively seeking feasible solutions to improve soil health to ensure the long-term productivity. A focal point is to modulate the living ecosystem to perform the multiple functions, including carbon sequestration (Gao et al., 2018), water purification (Syafrudin et al., 2021), nutrient cycling (Yadav et al., 2021), storing and supplying nutrients to plants, and providing ...
