A comparison of soil quality and yield parameters under organic and conventional vineyard systems in Mediterranean conditions (West Turkey) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Soil chemical and microbial parameters are commonly used as soil quality indicators to evaluate sustainable land management in agroecosystems. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of organic and conventional management strategies on ...

Soil health unaltered by conversion from no‐till to occasional tillage

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Achieving greater productivity and ecological sustainability of agricultural soils requires moving beyond conventional management practices. No‐till (NT) enhances soil health while presenting weed management and nutrient stratification challenges.

Can conservation tillage practices improve soil characteristics in cornfields during a short‐term period?

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The use of conventional tillage practices in crop production systems has led to a significant soil loss in many regions of Iran. Conservation tillage practices can help restore the degraded soils. A 2‐year experiment was conducted in an irrigated corn (Zea mays L.) cropping system during the 2014–2016 growing seasons on a silty clay soil with ...

Shallow non-inversion tillage in organic farming maintains crop yields and increases soil C stocks: a meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Reduced tillage is increasingly promoted to improve sustainability and productivity of agricultural systems. Nonetheless, adoption of reduced tillage by organic farmers has been slow due to concerns about nutrient supply, soil structure, and weeds that ...

Short‐term tillage effects on greenhouse gas emissions and global warming potential from soybean in southeast Arkansas

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Reduced tillage (RT) is a common conservation agriculture practice, generally regarded to be a valuable greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation approach through increasing soil carbon (C) stocks. However, direct GHG measurements from RT compared to conventional tillage (CT) treatments can vary greatly depending on site‐specific soil properties and ...

Assessing pre‐plant nitrogen sources and waterlogging on corn growth and yield

open access: yesCrop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Flooding and waterlogging from strong storms can negatively affect corn (Zea mays L.) growth and yield. Ensuring adequate nitrogen (N) supply after waterlogging is key to optimizing corn yield, though limited evaluations of enhanced efficiency fertilizers have been conducted in conjunction with waterlogging conditions.

Impact of reduced tillage on soil organic carbon and nutrient budgets under organic farming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
No-tillage (NT) and reduced tillage (RT) systems are well-known management tools for reducing soil erosion and improving soil fertility. NT and RT may improve the environmental and economic performance of organic farming, but they are still not common ...

Rethinking Global Soil Degradation: Drivers, Impacts, and Solutions

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could ...

Changes to soil profile carbon and nutrient distribution following pasture renewal with full inversion tillage

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1481-1501, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Full inversion tillage (FIT) at pasture renewal is a management option aiming to increase carbon stocks in long‐term pasture, to achieve carbon neutrality. This study investigated the effects of FIT on carbon and nutrient distribution in the soil profile (0–7.5, 7.5–15, 15–22.5 and 22.5–30 cm depths) as well as nutrient uptake, and subsequent ...
