Agronomy in the temperate zone and threats or mitigation from climate change: A review
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present an assessment based on over 190 scientific publications which indicates that the beneficial effect of climate change will not be permanent and, consequently, will significantly reduce crop yields.

L’agriculture régénératrice : summum de l’agroécologie ou greenwashing?
TL;DR: In this article , a cadre d'analyse des formes d'agriculture in terms of impacts and services is proposed, which nous mobilisons pour comparer l’AGriculture régénératrice à celles auxquelles elle se réfère and qui sont bien documentées dans la littérature scientifique.

Stabilization mechanisms of soil organic matter: Implications for C-saturation of soils
TL;DR: The relationship between soil structure and the ability of soil to stabilize soil organic matter (SOM) is a key element in soil C dynamics that has either been overlooked or treated in a cursory fashion when developing SOM models as discussed by the authors.

Ecosystems and human well-being: a framework for assessment
TL;DR: The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) as discussed by the authors is a conceptual framework for analysis and decision-making of ecosystems and human well-being that was developed through interactions among the experts involved in the MA as well as stakeholders who will use its findings.
