Thanks for the feedback Tom, I appreciate it. You're spot-on! Organic amendments had a quite large sample size (484 studies), compared to conventional versus organic (~330 studies) and biosolid addition (159 studies). Thank you for pointing this out!

💻From a methodological point of view, this is a quantitative synthesis of meta-analyses, aka a second-order meta-analysis, aka a meta-meta-analysis. It was the first time I was using this method and it was fun!

⛏️More specifically, we examined grazing pause, diversification, organic farming, reduced resource addition and lower intensity in agroforestry systems, grasslands and croplands.

ℹ️ We also provide a detailed step-by-step guide for the implementation of the method using the R programming language and a detailed description of how to test for the statistical assumptions behind the method.

🌾 We present a study where we use data from agricultural experiments to showcase how this method can be implemented in ecological contexts.

🧭 This method can help decision-making in nature conservation and landscape management. However, it is not very common in Ecology and Experimental Biology.
