Examining the potential for climate change mitigation from zero tillage [PDF]

, 2015
The benefits of reduced and zero-tillage systems have been presented as reducing runoff, enhancing water retention and preventing soil erosion. There is also general agreement that the practice can conserve and enhance soil organic carbon (C) levels to ...

Zero Tillage Systems Conserve Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Enhancing Soil Glomalin and Water Stable Aggregates with Implications for Soil Stability

Soil Systems, 2021
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic symbiotic relationships with approximately 80% of terrestrial plant species, while producing the glycoprotein glomalin as a structural support molecule along their mycelial network.

Deep Tillage Improves Degraded Soils in the (Sub) Humid Ethiopian Highlands

Land, 2019
Intensification of rainfed agriculture in the Ethiopian highlands has resulted in soil degradation and hardpan formation, which has reduced rooting depth, decreased deep percolation, and increased direct runoff and sediment transport.

Comparative assessment of energy-cum-carbon flow of diverse tillage production systems for cleaner and sustainable crop production in the middle Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
The most common cropping production system in South Asia, transplanted puddled rice followed by conventional-tillage wheat, is highly unsustainable, extremely energy-intensive, and emits a large amount of greenhouse gases.
