Crop residues are important inputs of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to soils thus directly indirectly affect nitrous oxide (N2 O) emissions. As the current inventory methodology considers N by crop as sole determining factor for N2 O emissions, it fails consider other underlying factors processes. There is compelling evidence that emissions vary greatly between with different biochemical physical characteristics, concentrations mineralizable decomposable C in residue biomass both enhancing...
Informing and engaging all actors in the land sector, including land-owners managers, researchers, policy-makers citizens, on most effective sustainable land-based solutions behavioural changes is a key strategy for achieving climate change adaptation mitigation targets at global as well EU local level. One requisite to support sector provide them publicly available, reliable ready-to-use information related implementation of Land-based Adaptation Mitigation Solutions (LAMS). Here we...
The complex interplay between landscape connectivity, climate fluctuations, and land use transformations profoundly affects ecosystem health, functionality, human well-being on a global scale. However, these interconnected issues are often not addressed collectively in studies, conservation strategies, or plans, particularly at the This paper introduces, for first time CCL Nexus - an integrated approach to studying Connectivity, Climate, Land use/cover change relationship better understand...
Increasing the production of grain legumes in Europe will contribute to protein self-sufficiency and provide direct indirect environmental benefits, e.g., delivering ecosystem services such as N input via biological N2 fixation (BNF). Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is main legume cultivated with increasing interest from organic sector. Agronomic economic obstacles exist inclusion cropping systems but could be counterbalanced by accounting for provision services. Thus, variations productivity BNF...
Improving or maintaining soil health is crucial to support human needs, with the concept of quality connecting functions and sustainability concerns. In 2019, we assessed chemical, physical biological properties in a long-term crop rotation experiment initiated 1997 at Foulum, Denmark, aim determining effects use cover crops, animal manure, different sequences (with without legume-based ley) organic vs conventional management. The concentration carbon has been relatively stable across all...
The rising global demand for high-quality, plant-based food highlights the potential of grain legumes as protein-rich alternatives that offer environmental, climate, and health benefits. Local cultivation can enhance agricultural sustainability in Europe by diversifying cropping systems reducing reliance on synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers through biological N fixation. This is particularly beneficial organic systems. However, legume remains limited Northern due to short growing season,...
Effective national strategies must be carefully planned in advance to position the land sector as a pivotal contributor achieving 2050 climate neutrality target set by European Union (EU) under Paris Agreement. Governments define their pathways achieve goals through long-term low emission development (LTSs), which describe policies and measures for just socially fair transition greenhouse gas. This paper explores natural solutions foreseen available twenty-five LTSs EU assess each country’s...
Cover crops represents an agricultural management option, which has the potential to increase soil carbon (C) stocks and contribute atmospheric CO2 reduction. However, there is a scarcity of studies quantifying C inputs from cover crops, particularly into subsoil layers. Furthermore, estimates plant soils often lack accounting root fragments (here defined as roots in size class 0.25–4 mm) net phyllo- rhizodeposition. Based on field experiment with multiple 13C-CO2 pulse labeling, we...
How the productivity of crops in organic arable farming may be sustainably increased remains a key issue. We combined measurements crop yield, total aboveground biomass (AGB) and light interception over 4-year rotation cycle from 2015 to 2018 long-term experiment Denmark with conventional cropping systems. These systems comprise one (CGL) two (OGL OGC) rotations, where CGL OGL had three spring cereal grain legume (faba bean) rotation, faba bean was OGC replaced grass-clover. All rotations...
Crop residues represent a climate change dilemma: they can promote carbon (C) sequestration, but may also stimulate emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Although there are crop residue management measures to reduce N2O emissions, reductions achieved at national scale with these have been seldom studied, and how farmers' willingness accept constrains their potential remains largely unknown. Using Denmark as case study, we combined survey (completed by 592 farmers)...
The response of soybean to biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) varies due factors such as plant variety, soil, and environmental conditions, which can compromise the N2 capacity. objective this study was evaluate additional inoculation with B. japonicum at different growth stages a strategy improve fixation. This determined by studying nodulation BNF isotope dilution method. experiment carried out under greenhouse conditions in soil without cropping history. Inoculated increased nodulation,...
