Organic farming does not increase soil organic carbon compared to conventional farming if there is no carbon transfer from other agroecosystems: A meta-analysis
(Csiro Publishing, 2021-11)
Context: Organic farming is based on the non-use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. Nitrogen inputs are derived from symbiotic fixation and organic fertilisers, which also contribute carbon to the agroecosystem. Soil ...
