Editorial: Realizing livelihood and environmental benefits of forages in tropical crop-tree-livestock systems by Chirinda, Ngonidzashe, Peters, Michael, Burkart, Stefan, Notenbaert, An Maria Omer, Hoek, Rein van der

“…Sanchez et al. (2021) showed that silvopastoral systems have the potential to support the provision of ecosystem services such as pollination. In a separate study, Notenbaert et al. (2021) used previous studies to demonstrate the multiple potential benefits of managed livestock production systems. …”

Understanding adoption of conservation agriculture practices in Southern Africa: insights from household and community surveys and their implication for scaling: a synthesis report... by Chikoye, D., Alene, A., Hirpa Tufa, A., Ngoma, H., Marenya, P., Thierfelder, C.

“…For most resource-poor farmers, adoption of improved practices such as CA is primarily determined by their potential short-term benefits of crop yields, profits, risk avoidance, and livelihoods – and less so by longer-term improvements in soil properties or ecosystem services or other environmental services that are public goods in nature. …”

Changes in microbial and physicochemical properties under cover crop inclusion in a degraded common bean monoculture system by Aban, Carla Luciana, Perez Brandan, Carolina, Verdenelli, Romina Aylen, Huidobro, Dina Jorgelina, Meriles, José Manuel, Vargas Gil, Silvina

“…The expansion of the common bean monoculture system along with intensive agricultural practices focused on productivity has generated a misuse of natural resources, accompanied by a significant decline of the soil ecosystem services. The aim of this study was to analyze the short-term effect (3 years) of the inclusion of different cover crops (legumes, non-legumes and mixtures) on the physicochemical, biological properties and crop yield in a degraded common bean monoculture system in the north region of Argentina. …”

Biotic and Abiotic Drivers of Topsoil Organic Carbon Concentration in Drylands Have Similar Effects at Regional and Global Scales by Gaitan, Juan Jose, Maestre, Fernando Tomás, Bran, Donaldo Eduardo, Buono, Gustavo Gabriel, Dougill, Andrew J., Garcia Martinez, Guillermo Carlos, Ferrante, Daniela, Guuroh, Reginald Tang, Linstadter, Anja, Massara Paletto, Virginia, Thomas, Andrew David, Oliva, Gabriel Esteban

“…This has important implications for the conservation of drylands under climate change; land management should seek to enhance plant productivity as a tool to offset the negative impact of climate change on SOC storage and on associated ecosystem services.…”

Soil microbial functionality in response to the inclusion of cover crop mixtures in agricultural systems by Chavarria, Diego N., Verdenelli, Romina Aylén, Muñoz, Emiliano J., Conforto, Erica Cinthia, Restovich, Silvina Beatriz, Andriulo, Adrian Enrique, Meriles, José Manuel, Vargas Gil, Silvina

“…Agricultural systems where monoculture prevails are characterized by fertility losses and reduced contribution to ecosystem services. Including cover crops (CC) as part of an agricultural system is a promising choice in sustainable intensification of those demanding systems. …”
