“…They also observed a species-complementarity effect of the CC mixtures in belowground niche partitioning as oat and berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrium L.) changed their vertical root distribution in mixtures as compared with pure stands. Streit et al (2019) made similar observations in relation to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and winter wheat. However, Amsili and Kaye (2020) did not find a greater root biomass distribution for a five-species mixture relative to that of canola.…”

The intensification of agriculture has resulted in the loss of species diversity in agroecosystems. Crop diversification not only improves ecosystem functions but increases agroecosystem resilience to climate change. Cover crops (CC) are used in the crop rotation to increase plant diversity and provide continuous living roots and soil cover. Previous studies have focused mainly on pure stands of CC and on binary mixtures. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in multispecies mixtures (>2 species). Here, we review reports from the literature to document the effectiveness of fall-seeded CC mixtures to provide agroecosystem services such as weed suppression, N cycling, soil organic C storage, and crop productivity. We cover both organic and conventional field crop systems in North America and Europe. We found, for both systems, that fall-seeded CC mixtures increased many agroecosystem services compared with a control without CC; however, they had inconsistent effects in comparison with a pure stand. The capacity of mixtures to enhance a given agroecosystem service was found to be dependent on the species functional group. Legume-based mixtures increased soil N and C contents along with crop yield, whereas nonlegume mixtures improved N recycling and weed suppression. Differences in the functional groups within CC mixtures could lead to trade-offs among agroecosystem services. Future research should focus on what drives species-specific contributions to productivity and other ecosystem services when CC are seeded in mixtures. More long-term research is needed to provide better insights into the stability of the ecosystem services provided by CC mixtures.The intensification of agriculture in response to the increasing needs of the growing global population has led to a Abbreviations: CC, cover crop(s); SOC, soil organic carbon.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…Water and fertilizer uptake capacities of multiple crops in an intercropping ecosystem can be very different because of complex agronomic practices and different crop properties. If these differences were optimally managed, the intercropping ecosystem could not only improve the land equivalent ratio (LER) (Martin et al, 2018;Iqbal et al, 2019), water-fertilizer utilization efficiency (Singh et al, 2017;Chen et al, 2019;Du et al, 2019), and light utilization efficiency (LUE), it could also increase crop yields (Hauggaard et al, 2016;Raza et al, 2019;Streit et al, 2019). The intercropping planting pattern can not only increase farmers' income but also has many additional advantages.…”

Therefore, intercropping ecosystems have been extensively used worldwide, including in Germany (Streit et al, 2019), Brazil (Batista et al, 2019), India (Das et al, 2019), Pakistan (Iqbal et al, 2019), and China (Zhou et al, 2019).…”

“…However, the underground interactions between the roots of different species are still poorly understood, in part due to the complexity of identifying the species of a root isolated from a soil core. With this in mind, Streit, Meinen, Nelson, Siebrecht‐Schöll and Rauber (2019) applied ATR–FTIR to identify ground, dried roots collected from various soil cores. The faba bean roots were readily discriminated from wheat roots, with no apparent effect of genotype or growing year.…”

With growing consumer interest and demand for health‐benefiting functional foods such as faba beans, particularly evident in developed countries, commercial production of this crop is increasing. In concert with increased production levels comes an equally great need for the inexpensive rapid measurement of nutritional parameters for quality determining purposes. As an analytical tool, near‐infrared spectroscopy has been well explored for the quantification of proximate nutritional composition, such as protein, starch and oil contents in faba bean and faba bean‐derived products. Near‐infrared spectroscopy has also been demonstrated to have potential for the noninvasive prediction of low‐level micronutrients such as the total polyphenol content in faba bean and faba bean‐derived products, although further exploration in this area is required to provide a more acceptable model. In some instances, the authors may be inadvertently measuring micronutrient concentrations through a secondary correlation with certain macronutrients. It is particularly difficult to determine if this is the case if exacerbated by the lack of an independent validation test set in the paper in question. The associated technique of mid‐infrared spectroscopy shows particular promise for the rapid, noninvasive characterisation of structural components of faba bean, such as carbohydrates and proteins. Complementary applications of these two technologies are likely to yield a wealth of potential applications.
