A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE AGRONOMIC AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF ORGANIC COFFEE PRODUCTION (2005, background): “For example, about 50% of N uptake by a crop on conventional farms is derived from inorganic fertilizers in the year of application with the remainder from mineralization of SOM.”
Soil Microbial Communities and Dehydrogenase Activity Depending on Farming Systems (2018, background): “As mentioned by Shannon et al. (2002), studies of the soils microbial status managed under organic and conventional regimes have produced conflicting evidence of whether there are distinct differences in the microbiological parameters which may be attributed to management practice.”
Soil microbial diversity and activity linked to crop yield and quality in a dryland organic wheat production system (2016, background): “Fungal biomass has also been consistently found to be greater in organic systems, compared to conventional systems (Birkhofer et al., 2008; Gunapala and Scow, 1998; Shannon et al., 2002; Yeates et al., 1997).”
