The potential of cover crops to increase soil organic carbon storage in German croplands

Daria Seitz et al.

Summary: This study aims to quantify the soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential of cover crops in Germany. By simulating SOC scenarios and estimating the carbon input from cover crops, the study found that cover crops can effectively reduce SOC losses in German croplands.

Value priorities of the Finnish farmers-Time to stop thinking of farmers as inherently conservative and traditional

Jaana Sorvali et al.

Summary: Research found that Finnish farmers' values are heterogeneous and diverse, with differences related to their socio-demographic characteristics. The study also showed that security-societal is the most important value for Finnish farmers, reflecting more of a national identity rather than personal motivational values. The findings highlight the importance of considering the heterogeneity of farmers' values in policy planning.

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.

How much is policy driving the adoption of cover crops? Evidence from four EU regions

Jonas Kathage et al.

Summary: EU agriculture is under increasing pressure to support environmental protection and climate change mitigation. Catch and cover crops, an underused farming practice, have the potential to contribute towards these goals. However, adoption rates vary widely between regions and are influenced predominantly by policy rather than environmental or climate change considerations. Non-adopters may be more likely to adopt if stronger policy obligations or additional subsidies are implemented.

Management of cover crops in temperate climates influences soil organic carbon stocks: a meta-analysis

Shelby C. McClelland et al.

Summary: Cover cropping can increase soil carbon stocks in temperate climates, with factors such as planting and termination dates, annual cover crop biomass production, and soil clay content playing key roles in determining the magnitude of this impact. Continuous cover or autumn planting and termination of cover crops, along with high annual biomass production, are associated with greater increases in soil carbon stocks. Management strategies focused on maximizing net primary productivity through improved synchronization between cover crop growing windows and environmental conditions can enhance the effectiveness of cover cropping in sequestering carbon in agricultural ecosystems.

Changes in topsoil organic carbon content in the Swiss leman region cropland from 1993 to present. Insights from large scale on-farm study

Xavier Dupla et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant decrease in SOC content in western Switzerland's cropland topsoil, with most areas showing a linear increase in SOC content change rates. This trend is attributed to Swiss agri-environmental schemes and the adoption of minimum tillage, conservation agriculture, and multi-species cover crops.

Climate change, precipitation shifts and early summer drought: An irrigation tipping point for Finnish farmers?

Pirjo Peltonen-Sainio et al.

Summary: This study investigates the spatiotemporal variation of early summer droughts and yield losses for spring cereals in Southwest Finland using past weather data and future climate models. It found that two irrigation systems are economically feasible for larger farm units with high yield levels, but projected changes in precipitation may not significantly impact cereal yields. Therefore, while irrigation may reduce production uncertainties in high-latitude conditions, changes in precipitation alone may not be enough incentive for farmers to invest in irrigation in the future.
