Impacts of conservation tillage on soil organic carbon and crop yield in black soil region of Northeast China: integrated regulation by climate, management and soil properties

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Conservation management practices potentially enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and restore soil fertility, thereby sustaining crop productivity and mitigating global warming. However, the magnitudes and controlling factors of the responses
