“…The sustainability of PECs lies in the possibility of extending the above‐mentioned benefits, allocating the cultivation of these low‐input crops on poor and marginal soils, excluding conflicts between food and energy productions and limiting the effects of indirect land use change. At a European level, 257 Mha of land has been classified as poor or very poor based on the Muencheberg soil quality rating system (SQR; Mueller et al, 2014) and approximately 58.2 Mha of these are suitable for PECs cultivation (Gerwin et al, 2018). Many studies have shown that herbaceous and woody PECs could contribute to soil carbon (C) storage through continuous addition of aboveground and belowground residues and reduced soil disturbance (Agostini et al, 2015; Chimento et al, 2016; Chimento & Amaducci, 2015; Rowe et al, 2016).…”

“…The ES potential can be characterised by soil and climate conditions. The soil quality rating (Müller et al 2007 ) delivers an index which reflects the agronomic yield potential. The rating allows comparisons of the yield potential on a regional level.…”

“…Bünemann et al 2018 ). One example is the soil quality rating index (Müller et al 2007 : M-SQR-Index), used also as part of national natural capital accountancies (Albert et al 2016 ). Further indicators are used that report on the sensitivity and actual condition of agricultural ecosystems which can increase or reduce soil productivity, e.g.…”

“…At the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Muencheberg, the Muencheberg Soil Quality Rating (M-SQR) was elaborated (Mueller et al 2007a). The law of correlations between the properties of soils and the productivity of crop cultivated on them established by V. V. Dokuchayev (1951) served as a theoretical basis for this method.…”
