Tillage Manure Managemen and Water Quality, April 2005 [PDF]
, 2005 Tillage and manure application practices significantly impact surface and ground water quality in Iowa and other Midwestern states. Tillage and manure application that incorporates residue and disturbs soil result in higher levels of soil erosion and

Impact of soil tillage and land use on soil organic carbon decline under Mediterranean conditions [PDF]
, 2012 Soils under Mediterranean climate conditions frequently have low to very low levels of soil organic matter (SOM), as a result of low biomass production under the predominantly rainfed conditions and the intensive tillage operations commonly practiced. In

Non-inverting Tillage: Early-Stage Effects on Soil Mechanical Behaviour [PDF]
, 2000 Organic farmers often claim positive effects of non-inverting and reduced tillage systems. There is a need of quantifying tilth characteristics in the former plough layer of soil converted to such tillage systems.
