Soil and crop management for climate-smart soils

This work aims at creating an integrative literature review on the effect of agricultural practices on sustainable soil water management in Europe. For this we selected multiple meta-analysis using the following query string: soil AND meta-analysis NOT forest NOT urban AND (management OR tillage OR cropping OR crops OR crop OR (cover and crops) OR (catch and crop) OR residue OR residues OR fertilizer OR manure OR amendment OR liming OR compost OR traffic OR biochar OR irrigation OR intercropping OR agroforestry) AND (hydraulic conductivity OR water retention OR available water OR runoff OR infiltration OR bulk density OR macroporosity OR penetration resistance OR soil strength OR aggregate stability OR aggregation OR yields OR organic matter OR organic carbon OR (microbial OR faunal OR earthworm) AND (biomass OR activity) root AND (depth or biomass or growth)) These meta-analysis were after analysed in terms to extract the relationships between drivers and variables. The quality of the meta-analysis was also evaluated using method from Beillouin et al. (2019)
