| description | The future of resource sustainability in Mediterranean soils appears to be threatened due to inferior soil management techniques. In Morocco, the irregularity of the climate along with the adoption of conventional tillage (CT) may contribute over time to a decrease in soil fertility through the depletion of organic matter (OM), which negatively affects the soil properties. However, the no-tillage (NT) system that has been proposed as sustainable in several research studies can be a reliable solution to this situation. This work aims to promote innovative no-tillage systems that can fill the sustainability gaps left by conventional tillage while keeping the soil healthier. Reducing soil disturbance by implementing no-tillage practices was found to enhance most of studied soil properties. Such findings are important to improve and share the knowledge of how this new system will allow for better soil conservation. |
