Agricultural intensification reduces microbial network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in roots (2018, background): “Organic farmlands represent 2.5% of the total arable lands in Europe, and over 3.5% in Switzerland [8], although they may reduce yield and yield stability [9].”
Reduced Tillage and No-Till in Organic Farming Systems, Germany—Status Quo, Potentials and Challenges (2017, neutral): “[24], this effect rarely occurs in humid climates [14,15,24,25].”
Soil Degradation and Soil Quality in Western Europe: Current situation and future perspectives (2014, background): “, in Scotland and Switzerland [125], in NE Spain after 20 years [127], and in N France in a 41-year experimental trial [128]) or inconsistent results (e.”
Shallow non-inversion tillage in organic farming maintains crop yields and increases soil C stocks: a meta-analysis (2016, background): “Reduced tillage intensity is one of the key components of conservation agriculture systems promoted by the Food and Agriculture Association of the United Nations to conserve, improve, and make more efficient use of natural resources (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 2015).”
Effect of Tillage Systems on the Yield and Quality of Winter Wheat Grain and Soil Properties (2020, background): “Corresponding views were presented in other numerous works [24,25,31,39,47,51].”
Influence of reduced tillage on earthworm and microbial communities under organic arable farming (2013, background): “clay soils) on which a reduction in tillage intensity remains a challenge due to an increased risk of soil compaction (Soane et al. 2012).”
Effect of tillage on earthworms over short- and medium-term in conventional and organic farming (2014, background): “…tillage systems, like other reduced tillage ystems, are aimed at enhancing soil physical properties (e.g., strucural stability, water retention) and soil organic matter (Morris t al., 2010), increasing soil biodiversity (El Titi, 2003), and reducing roduction costs (Soane et al., 2012).”
Weed-Species Abundance and Diversity Indices in Relation to Tillage Systems and Fertilization (2018, background): “Furthermore, it is noted that less important weeds often become dominant after a period of no-tillage in which weed seeds are retained near the soil surface (Soane et al., 2012).”
