ABSTRACT Background: Soil quality can be measured through soil quality indicators that reflect soil processes. Aim: The aim of this study was to (1) identify a limited set of soil quality indicators that are most sensitive to agricultural soil management and that are widely applicable regardless of pedo‐climatic conditions, and (2) link common ...

Yield‐Dependent Allocation Functions Overestimate Root‐Derived Carbon Inputs in Wheat and Maize
ABSTRACT Root‐derived carbon (C) inputs for wheat and maize were estimated using the yield‐based allocation functions of Bolinder et al. and Jacobs et al. Comparison with measured root C showed systematic overestimation that becomes larger as predicted C increases.

Abstract Background Livestock, especially ruminants, are a major source of global methane emissions, primarily produced by methanogenic archaea during enteric fermentation. We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to account for factors that could influence the relationship between ruminal methanogenic populations and methane emissions, such ...

The Economics of Manure Utilization: Model and Application
A model of manure utilization is developed and applied to four types of transportable manure. Model results highlight important response differences among manure types and generally illustrate the diseconomies of manure production. For example, as manure

Crop production during the first course of an organic crop rotation trial in Denmark
Three factors are included in a factorial field experiment: 1) fraction of grass-clover and pulses in the rotation (crop rotation), 2) catch crop (with or without catch crop), and 3) manure (with or without animal manure). Manure is applied as slurry in

Green manure crops for low fertility soils [PDF]
Organic crop production is growing, but crop yields are still below potential. The purpose of our project “Nutrients for higher organic yields (NutHY)” is to increase yields and resource efficiency in organic crop production by optimizing nutrient supply.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.
