- CONV had overall negative effects on soil functions with a median score of 0.50 whereas CA had overall positive effects with a median score ranging from 0.80 to 0.83. The study proposes the need for field-based investigations
- water regulation and purification
- Continental and Mediterranean North) in Europe by applying expert scoring based on a synthesis of existing literature. In each environmental zone
- policies and subsidy support to benefit from CA adoption to enhance the five soil functions.
- viz. primary productivity
- 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
- 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
- causing adverse effects on some of the five major soil functions
- carbon sequestration and regulation
- nutrient cycling and provision
- Conventional farming (CONV) is the norm in European farming
