“…Averaged across residues and fertilizations, SOC was 10% higher in no-tillage than in conventional tillage (Table 6). Feizienė et al (2018) found that no-tillage in the Cambisol loam was superior to conventional tillage in terms of SOC sequestration in the topsoil. Jiao et al (2020) wrote that intensive anthropogenic activity leads to a decrease in the content of SOC in the arable layer.…”

“…Soil nutrient concentrations (N, P, K, and organic C) are accurate indicators of soil quality and productivity due to their beneficial effects on the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is increasingly viewed as the main indicator of soil quality (Feizienė et al, 2018). Soil organic carbon content is essential to the formation of aggregates.…”

A b s t r a c t. The aggregate stability of the soil is subject to the influence of anthropogenic factors and is of great interest all over the world. The research aimed to quantify the correlations between soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total potassium, soil macropore parameters and water-stable aggregates under no-tillage and conventional tillage in Cambisol. The content of water-stable aggregates and macroporosity tended to increase in the following order: conventional tillage (returned residues) < conventional tillage (removed residues) < no-tillage (removed residues) < no-tillage (returned residues) in both fertilizations. The relationships between total nitrogen and various soil factors were investigated: soil organic carbon (r = 0.65, p < 0.05), total phosphorus (r = 0.65, p < 0.05), were statistically significant. Soil organic carbon and total nitrogen were positively correlated with water-stable aggregates (r = 0.81, p < 0.01 and r = 0.68, p < 0.05, respectively), whereas the relationship between total potassium and water-stable aggregates was negative. The relationship between total phosphorus and water-stable aggregates (r = 0.62, p < 0.05) was positive. The soil chemical properties, macropores and water-stable aggregates that were averaged across the residues and fertilizations were higher in no-tillage than in con-ventional tillage. Soil organic carbon, total nitrogen and total phosphorus all had a positive direct influence on the formation of water-stable aggregates under different tillage conditions. Since our results are largely based on correlations, the mechanisms of interaction between the soil chemical properties, water-stable aggregates and the formation of pores in the soil need to be explored further in future investigations.K e y w o r d s: Cambisol, conventional tillage, no-tillage, X-ray computed tomography, soil organic carbon

“…Several studies included RET and NT even though many European FE have shown that there is no or little effect on C stock changes when considering the whole soil profile (Anken et al, 2004 ; D’Hose et al, 2016 ; Dimassi et al, 2013 ; Feiziene et al, 2018 ; Hermle et al, 2008 ; Martínez et al, 2016 ; Meurer et al, 2018 ; Willekens et al, 2014 ). However, the effect of NT practices depends on pedo‐climatic conditions (Chenu et al, 2019 ; Kochiieru et al, 2020 ).…”

The role of soils in the global carbon cycle and in reducing GHG emissions from agriculture has been increasingly acknowledged. The '4 per 1000' (4p1000) initiative has become a prominent action plan for climate change mitigation and achieve food security through an annual increase in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks by 0.4%, (i.e. 4‰ per year). However, the feasibility of the 4p1000 scenario and, more generally, the capacity of individual countries to implement soil carbon sequestration (SCS) measures remain highly uncertain. Here, we evaluated country-specific SCS potentials of agricultural land for 24 countries in Europe.

Maize productivity is mainly constrained by the climate, meteorological and soil conditions, and agro-technological practice. Reduced primary tillage intensity might be a method to optimize the complex interactions between these conditions. An 8-year field experiment was designed to test this. The aim of the experiment was to establish the influence of deep and shallow ploughing, chiselling, disking and no-tillage systems on parameters of maize productivity. No-tillage resulted in a significant decrease in maize stand density compared with deep and shallow ploughing, as well as chiselling, while maize canopy height and dry biomass was slightly higher in the no-tillage system. Nevertheless, in no-tillage plots the maize yield was insignificantly lower than in deeply and shallowly ploughed plots (on average 3.5–6.4% less). Overall, long-term reduction of primary tillage had less impact on maize productivity parameters than meteorological conditions during the vegetation period.
