Another paper led by Guusje Koorneef. This chronosequence study in the Netherlands shows that organic farming increases total and labile soil org. C in clay soils, but not in sandy soils. Intrinsic soil properties (iron oxides) influence response to management. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Understanding the effects of organic versus conventional farming on soil organic carbon characteristics – a chronosequence study
Organic farming aims at producing high quality, nutritious food while sustaining the health of soils and ecosystems, for which it relies on ecological…

Hot off the Science press - soil multifunctionality under both organic and conventional farming is enhanced by less intensive management.

Conventional and organic farms with more intensive management have lower soil functionality
Organic farming is often considered to be more sustainable than conventional farming. However, both farming systems comprise highly variable management practices. In this study, we show that in organi...

With all the attention for soil C sequestration as a C removal strategy the role of N, which is closely linked as a key component of soil organic matter, is mostly overlooked. Great paper and very nice visuals!
Recent advances in #soilscience all point toward potential for internal soil nitrogen cycling to meet a much greater proportion of crop N needs than currently thought! 🌾🦠🤎 🧑‍🌾🧪
