Responses of extracellular enzyme activities and microbial community in both the rhizosphere and bulk soil to long-term fertilization practices in a fluvo-aquic soil (2012, background): “These results illustrate that organic manure plays a more important role in improving soil fertility and sustainable land use than do mineral fertilizers (Mäder et al., 2002).”
Influence of reduced tillage on earthworm and microbial communities under organic arable farming (2013, background): “In this context, reduced tillage practices have become a promising yet challenging option for organic farmers across Europe (Mäder and Berner 2012) since they hold promise to reinforce the benefits of organic agriculture on soil fertility (Mäder et al. 2002).”
Organic Farming and Small-Scale Farmers: Main Opportunities and Challenges (2017, background): “Another study on 217 OF in Central Europe showed that the energy use and fertilizer inputs reduced by 34 to 53% 218 (Mäder et al., 2002).”
Long-term effects of organic farming on fungal and bacterial residues in relation to microbial energy metabolism (2010, background): “The effects of organic farming on soil organic matter and soil biological properties have been intensively investigated in the bio-dynamic, bio-organic, and conventional (DOK) trial in Therwil, Switzerland ( Mader et al. 2002; Fliesbach et al. 2007; Birkhofer et al. 2008).”
Soil microbial activity in conventional and organic agricultural systems. (2009, background): “Also, it can reduce some negative effects attributed to conventional agriculture and has potential benefits in enhancing soil quality [5].”
