“…Dugan et al [14] did not find difference between mulched and tilled treatments in the first few months after mulch application in hazelnut orchards. Similar results were noted in studies of Mulumba & Lal [42] and Gł ąb & Kulig [43] in croplands, indicating that a longer period of mulch application is needed, or the dosage of mulch application is too low to create a positive effect on soil compaction [21,44]. However, such criteria are not always solid, since there is proof that under reduced or no-tillage systems, mulching can decrease BD in the intermediate period [43,45].…”

“…Their introduction to practical crop production is essential for sustainable development [20]. Application of organic mulch materials is one example of a NBS for restoring degraded ecosystems and delivering vital ecosystem services, since it has a positive/neutral effect on several land degradation processes in agricultural soils [21]. Therefore, this strategy should be considered a primary practice to halt soil erosion; furthermore, it supports major EU policy priorities, in particular the European Green Deal, Biodiversity strategy and Climate adaptation strategy.…”

“…Soil amendments, both organic and inorganic, improve the physical and biological properties of soil, increase carbon sequestration, restore saline and contaminated soils, and increase crop yields and fertilizer efficiency [26]. Generally, their impact on soil quality is primarily positive, regardless of the climate conditions and soil type [27].…”

“…The leading causes of soil degradation in croplands were identified: frequent invertive tillage, wheel traffic, overuse of pesticides and mineral fertilizers, lack of organic amendments, and proper crop rotations [13]. Conventional agricultural practices decrease aggregate stability, biological activity, and soil fertility [14].…”
