Co-benefits, trade-offs, barriers and policies for greenhouse gas mitigation in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector.
Mercedes M. C. Bustamante,Carmenza Robledo-Abad,Richard J. Harper,Cheikh Mbow,Nijavalli H. Ravindranat,Frank Sperling,Helmut Haberl,Helmut Haberl,Alexandre de Siqueira Pinto,Pete Smith +9 more
TL;DR: Sustainability criteria are needed to guide development and implementation of AFOLU mitigation measures with particular focus on multifunctional systems that allow the delivery of multiple services from land, and policies need to be flexible enough to allow such assessments.

Soil conservation and ecosystem services
TL;DR: In this paper, an effective control of accelerated soil erosion is essential to sustainable development and improving the environment, while adoption of restorative land use and recommended management practices are important to strengthening numerous ecosystem services such as improving water quality and renewability, increasing below and above ground biodiversity, enhancing soil resilience to climate change and extreme events, and mitigating climate change by sequestering C in soil and reducing the emission of CO2, CH4 and N2O.

A sustainable agricultural landscape for Australia: A review of interlacing carbon sequestration, biodiversity and salinity management in agroforestry systems
TL;DR: The south-western Australian landscape from deep-rooted woody vegetation systems to shallow-cropping annual cropping systems has resulted in the severe loss of biodiversity and this loss has been exacerbated by rising ground waters that have mobilised stored salts causing extensive dry land salinity.

A review of soil carbon dynamics resulting from agricultural practices
Farhat Abbas,Hafiz Mohkum Hammad,Wajid Ishaq,Aitazaz A. Farooque,Hafiz Faiq Bakhat,Zahida Zia,Shah Fahad,Wajid Farhad,Artemi Cerdà +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that agricultural management in arid and semi-arid regions, which have specific characteristics related to high temperatures and low rainfall conditions, requires different practices for maintenance and restoration of SOC and for control of soil erosion compared to those used in Mediterranean, tropical regions.
