Ploughing and tilling soil on slopes is jeopardising future farm yields
Researchers from the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 of Augsburg and Lancaster 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 are investigating how soil tillage on slopes affects the crop yields of entire regions. The results of their study have now been published in the journal Nature Food.
