TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore innovative ways to present soils and raise soil awareness, and show specific real-world examples as to the possible positive and innovative impact of the EU Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection (TSSP).

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the processes underlying the cycling of nutrients to better understand which soil properties determine the performance of that function is presented, including capacity to receive nutrients, the capacity to make and keep nutrients available to crops, capacity to support the uptake of nutrients by crops, and the ability to support their successful removal in harvested crop.

TL;DR: The marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) approach is a framework commonly used to summarise information of potential mitigation effort, and can help in identifying the most cost-effective managerial and technological GHG mitigation options as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the effect of using the IPCC-NI and LCA methodologies when completing a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) analysis of national agricultural GHG emissions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed social factors influencing the sharing of seed of improved potato varieties amongst farmers in Chencha, Ethiopia, and found that the social networks of farmers are differentiated by wealth, gender and religion, and this differentiation affects the dispersion of new varieties through the farming communities: Wealthier farmers shared seed tubers most frequently and poor farmers did not share seed at all.
