- Conventional farming CONV is the norm in European farming
- causing adverse effects on some of the five major soil functions
- viz primary productivity
- carbon sequestration and regulation
- nutrient cycling and provision
- water regulation and purification
- and habitat for functional and intrinsic biodiversity Conservation agriculture CA is an alternative to enhance soil functions However
- there is no analysis of CA benefits on the five soil functions as most studies addressed individual soil functions The objective was to compare effects of CA and CONV practices on the five soil functions in four major environmental zones Atlantic North
- Pannonian
- Continental and Mediterranean North in Europe by applying expert scoring based on a synthesis of existing literature In each environmental zone
- a team of experts scored the five soil functions due to CA and CONV treatments and median scores indicated the overall effects on five soil functions Across the environmental zones
- CONV had overall negative effects on soil functions with a median score of 050 whereas CA had overall positive effects with a median score ranging from 080 to 083 The study proposes the need for field-based investigations
- policies and subsidy support to benefit from CA adoption to enhance the five soil functions
