Representing soil health practice effects on soil properties and nutrient loss in a watershed-scale hydrologic model

Grey Evenson et al.

Summary: Watershed-scale hydrologic models are commonly used to assess the water quality effects of agricultural conservation practices, but rarely account for how these practices affect soil physical and functional properties. This study introduces a method to represent these effects in a hydrologic model and finds that the modifications have significant effects on simulated hydrology and nutrient loss.

Global variation in soil carbon sequestration potential through improved cropland management

Malte Lessmann et al.

Summary: By combining global meta-analytical results on improved management practices with spatially explicit data, the estimated global carbon sequestration potential varies from 0.28 to 0.68 Gt C yr(-1) assuming maximum complementarity among all measures. Realistically, the estimate ranges from 0.28 to 0.43 Gt C yr(-1), highlighting regional differences in carbon sequestration potential due to varying yield gaps, SOC levels, and current practices.

Soil health: Meaning, measurement, and value through a critical zone lens

D. C. Yoder et al.

Summary: This article examines the importance and meaning of soil health, proposing further research questions on the rationale, limitations, and local relative meaning of soil health. The goal of the article is to stimulate deeper discussion and develop a more solid definition and description, leading to a more comprehensive and widely applicable understanding and measurement of soil health.

Soil carbon is the blind spot of European national GHG inventories

Valentin Bellassen et al.

Summary: Increasing carbon storage through soils can help mitigate climate change, but current soil carbon monitoring practices in the European Union are not accurate enough to measure climate benefits. Reviewing the data and methods used in greenhouse-gas inventories, it is found that there are unreported losses and gains in soil carbon in croplands, grasslands, and forests. The accuracy of reporting soil carbon in the European Union is low, especially for grasslands and croplands. Adopting key carbon-farming practices could further reduce emissions, but current GHG inventories would not capture their climate mitigation benefits.

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.

Soil-Improving Cropping Systems for Sustainable and Profitable Farming in Europe

Rudi Hessel et al.

Summary: Soils are essential for agriculture and ecosystem services, and their management should focus on improving quality and resilience. The SoilCare project developed the concept of soil-improving cropping systems (SICS) as a holistic approach to promote sustainable and profitable soil management. The adoption of SICS by stakeholders was monitored and evaluated for environmental, sociocultural, and economic effects. The project emphasized the importance of understanding local dynamics in Europe-wide assessments and highlighted the role of economic considerations and social factors such as trust in the uptake of SICS. The results pointed to the need for coherent policies to support a transition to more sustainable agricultural practices.

Opportunities for Mitigating Soil Compaction in Europe-Case Studies from the SoilCare Project Using Soil-Improving Cropping Systems

Ilaria Piccoli et al.

Summary: Soil compaction is a major threat to agriculture in Europe, affecting various ecosystem functions. Short-term case studies conducted in different locations within the SoilCare project showed that soil-improving cropping systems (SICSs) have promising potential in mitigating soil compaction. However, the effects of SICSs on yields were generally small, and there were difficulties in implementing these systems. Further refinement and evaluation of SICSs under different pedoclimatic conditions are needed.

A Review of Crop Husbandry and Soil Management Practices Using Meta-Analysis Studies: Towards Soil-Improving Cropping Systems

Rene Rietra et al.

Summary: Coherent improvements in crop varieties, crop husbandry, and soil management practices are needed to increase global crop production sustainably. This study presents a synthesis of 154 meta-analysis studies on ten main crop husbandry and soil management practices. The findings suggest that there is significant potential to increase cropland productivity and minimize environmental impacts.

Framing of sustainable agricultural practices by the farming press and its effect on adoption

Niki A. Rust et al.

Summary: There is a growing political pressure for farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices in order to protect people and the planet. The farming press plays a role in influencing farmers to try more sustainable practices by changing discourse and raising awareness, with a focus on economic and agronomic aspects. However, respondents often do not fully trust the farming press as they believe it represents agribusinesses, and while some farmers are motivated to try new sustainable practices after learning about them in the press, this is rare.

Exploring the multiple land degradation pathways across the planet

Remus Pravalie

Summary: This review paper explores global land degradation through an interdisciplinary and holistic approach, identifying 17 different pathways of land degradation. Among them, five major pathways are considered crucial, eroding ecosystem functions and services. The study emphasizes the urgent need for multidimensional research on land degradation and advocates for prioritizing it in governmental and international policies.

Achievable agricultural soil carbon sequestration across Europe from country-specific estimates

Leonor Rodrigues et al.

Summary: The potential for soil carbon sequestration (SCS) in agricultural land varies widely across 24 European countries, with none meeting the aspirational goal of the '4 per 1000' initiative. This highlights the need for a wider range of measures and implementation pathways to achieve the goal. The complexity of SCS measurement approaches and the importance of country-specific knowledge and estimates underscore the urgent need for methodological improvements and standardization in SCS accounting.

Soil Water Retention as Affected by Management Induced Changes of Soil Organic Carbon: Analysis of Long-Term Experiments in Europe

Summary: The study shows that individual conservation measures have a limited effect on soil water retention, and only a combination of several practices, such as reducing soil disturbances and increasing SOM inputs, can improve the water holding capacity of the soil.

Soil multifunctionality: Synergies and trade-offs acrossEuropeanclimatic zones and land uses

Marie J. Zwetsloot et al.

Summary: Societal demands for food security and environmental sustainability have prompted the study of synergies and trade-offs between soil functions across Europe. The research found that managing and monitoring soil multifunctionality is feasible, but there are constraints and trade-offs between soil functions. Nutrient cycling, biodiversity, and climate regulation are less frequently delivered at high capacity compared to primary productivity and water regulation. Synergies and trade-offs between soil functions vary by climatic zone and land-use type.

Spatial evaluation and trade-off analysis of soil functions through Bayesian networks

Dirk Vrebos et al.

Summary: This study mapped four different soil functions on agricultural lands across the European Union and developed indicators to evaluate their performance. By using Bayesian networks, the trade-offs between soil functions were evaluated and their maximal delivery estimated, showing that maximizing a soil function has varied effects on other functions depending on soil, climate, and management conditions.

Summary: The research explores the effectiveness of cover crop mixtures in providing agroecosystem services, with different types of mixtures showing varying impacts on weed suppression, nitrogen cycling, soil organic carbon storage, crop yield, and other services. Differences in functional groups within the mixtures may lead to trade-offs among different agroecosystem services.
