Biomass inputs drive agronomic management impacts on soil health.
Resumen:
ABSTRACT.- Numerous conservation and regeneration practices are recognized as effective strategies in the management of soil health (SH), a critical factor for ensuring the sustainability of food production systems. Despite their acknowledged importance, the multifaceted impacts of these practices often lead to confounding effects, and reliance on generic categorization of agronomic practices often falls short in portraying the drivers of SH. We advocate for a paradigm shift from a label-centric approach to one rooted in processes. Our study underscores the pivotal role of aboveground biomass cycling as an indicator for assessing the potential of agronomic management practices to instigate shifts in carbon balances, and, consequently SH. © 2024 The Authors.
