Modelling phosphorus dynamics in four European long-term experiments

Anna Muntwyler et al.

Summary: The objective of this study is to assess the ability of the detailed P submodel from DayCent to simulate the magnitude and temporal dynamics of P outputs, evaluate changes in P soil pools from European agricultural long-term experiments, and interpret the main causal factors inducing the differences between the observed vs. the simulated pools and fluxes. The DayCent model proved capable of satisfactorily predicting the main P fluxes over time under a wide variety of management practices and European site conditions, making it a promising tool for assessing policy and practical interventions.

Cover crop legacy impacts on soil water and nitrogen dynamics, and on subsequent crop yields in drylands: a meta-analysis

Ismail I. Garba et al.

Summary: Cover crops can provide ecosystem services in dryland cropping systems, but they also carry the risk of causing disservices. This meta-analysis assesses the effects of cover cropping on soil water, soil mineral nitrogen, and subsequent cash crop yields. The results show that cover cropping reduces cash crop yield, soil water content, and soil mineral nitrogen, with significant variation across climates, soil types, and crop management conditions.

Thresholds of target phosphorus fertility classes in European fertilizer recommendations in relation to critical soil test phosphorus values derived from the analysis of 55 European long-term field experiments

Kristin Steinfurth et al.

Summary: Phosphorus (P) fertilizer recommendations vary among countries, but the main principle is to maintain a target range of plant-available P in soil. However, the thresholds of target P fertility classes vary based on different soil test P methods, even among countries using the same method.

The Effects of Cover Crops on Multiple Environmental Sustainability Indicators-A Review

Clement Riviere et al.

Summary: Cover crops have been introduced in European agricultural systems for their multiple agro-ecological services and environmental benefits. This paper provides a systematic literature review on the effects of adopting cover crops, highlighting their positive effects on agri-environmental sustainability, but also the more variable effects associated with their use. More research is needed on the multiple effects of cover crops in diverse site-specific conditions and farm-management practices.

The role of cover crops for cropland soil carbon, nitrogen leaching, and agricultural yields - a global simulation study with LPJmL (V.5.0-tillage-cc)

Vera Porwollik et al.

Summary: Land management practices, such as cover crop cultivation, can mitigate the environmental impact of agriculture, improve productivity, and help sequester carbon. This study assessed the impacts of cover crop practices on sustainable land use and found positive effects on soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, as well as on soybean yield.

Conversion equations between Olsen-P and other methods used to assess plant available soil phosphorus in Europe - A review

Kristin Steinfurth et al.

Summary: Plant available soil phosphorus contents are assessed by various different methods worldwide, which hinders the comparison and joint analysis of international data. Differences in conversion equations question their reliability, and conversions should only be conducted if absolutely necessary.

Vertical distribution of phosphorus fractions and the environmental critical phosphorus level in acidic red soil under long-term fertilizer and lime application in southern China

Jing Huang et al.

Summary: Long-term application of organic fertilizer and lime can prevent soil acidification in red soil, and organic fertilizer should reduce the total input of phosphate fertilizer to prevent rapid accumulation of P and risk of P loss in leachate, while still improving the crop utilization rate of P fertilizer, thus achieving the dual goals of high crop yield and environmental protection.

The relevance of sustainable soil management within the European Green Deal

Luca Montanarella et al.

Summary: The European Green Deal aims to make the European Union the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, with ambitious measures including protecting soils, reducing chemical pesticide and fertilizer use, increasing organic farming, restoring polluted areas, and planting billions of new trees. These actions are part of the Biodiversity Strategy 2030, the Farm to Fork strategy, and the European Climate Law to achieve the ambitious targets set by the Green Deal.
