Organic cropping systems balance environmental impacts and
2024年10月26日 · Organic cropping systems, especially compost-based biodynamic, showed enhanced soil health, richness of micro- and macrofauna and weed species. Highest yields were achieved in integrated...
Soil organic carbon stocks potentially at risk of decline with organic ...
2023年6月29日 · Here we use a spatially explicit biogeochemical model to show that the complete conversion of global cropland to organic farming without the use of cover crops and plant residue (normative...
Historical and future dynamics of cropland soil organic carbon …
2024年9月15日 · The dynamics of soil organic carbon stocks (SOCS) in croplands are highly sensitive to agricultural management practices, representing a crucial component of soil fertility and playing a pivotal role in regulating the global carbon cycle.
51 expansion of organic farming might trigger competition for fertilising resources, possibly resulting 52 in a reduction of potential for soil carbon inputs and soil carbon sequestration. A recent study has 53 shown that organic farming upscaling …
Innovative Organic Fertilizers and Cover Crops: Perspectives for
2024年12月1日 · This review discusses a wide range of organic farming impacts on soil health and crop productivity by focusing on organic fertilizers and crop diversification. Conventional fertilizers were considered vital for agricultural production to harvest high crop yields.
Beyond organic farming – harnessing biodiversity-friendly …
2021年10月1日 · Certified organic farming can enhance biodiversity when compared to conventional farming. On average, organic farming across the world’s crops increases local species richness by ~34% and abundance by ~50% [17, 24, 25], with plants and bees benefitting most and other arthropods and birds to a smaller degree [11].
Global Sequestration Potential of Increased Organic Carbon in …
2017年11月14日 · The role of soil organic carbon in global carbon cycles is receiving increasing attention both as a potentially large and uncertain source of CO 2 emissions in response to predicted global...
Environmental Impact of Organic Agriculture - ScienceDirect
2016年1月1日 · Organic agriculture (OA) is practiced on 1% of the global agricultural land area and its importance continues to grow. Specifically, OA is perceived by many as having less negative effects on the environment than conventional agriculture because applications of soluble mineral fertilizers, and synthetic herbicides and pesticides are prohibited.
Soil organic carbon stocks potentially at risk of decline with organic ...
2023年6月29日 · Here we use a spatially explicit biogeochemical model to show that the complete conversion of global cropland to organic farming without the use of cover crops and plant residue (normative scenario) will result in a 40% reduction of global soil carbon input and 9% decline in …
Crop traits drive soil carbon sequestration under organic farming
2018年1月30日 · Organic farming (OF) enhances top soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in croplands compared with conventional farming (CF), which can contribute to sequester C. As farming system differences in the amount of C inputs to soil (e.g. fertilization and crop residues) are not enough to explain such increase, shifts in crop residue traits important for ...
