The impacts of regenerative farming on soil carbon, structure and biodiversity across spatio-temporal scales

再生农业（描述了一系列土壤和作物管理做法，包括免耕、覆盖种植和多样化轮作）为农民提供了多种潜在利益。这些措施可以包括增加土壤碳固存和改善土壤健康，包括土壤生物活性和土壤物理结构。这些土壤性质的变化可以维持和支持作物产量。然而，仍然存在许多重大的知识差距。许多再生农业实践是孤立研究的，但为了实现净零排放目标和英国粮食生产系统脱碳，农民需要同时采用多种实践。需要更多的信息来展示对土壤健康、生物多样性和碳储量的影响，以便为农民和政策制定者的决策提供信息，并支持加速向更可持续的做法过渡。本项目旨在应对这一挑战。

Regenerative agriculture (which describes a range of soil and crop management practices, including zero-tillage, cover-cropping and diversified rotations) offers multiple potential benefits to farmers. These can include increasing soil carbon sequestration and improving soil health, including soil biological activity, and soil physical structure. These changes to soil properties can maintain and support crop yields. However, many significant knowledge gaps remain. Many regenerative farming practices are studied in isolation, but in order to meet Net Zero emissions targets and decarbonise UK food production systems, farmers will need to adopt multiple practices at one. More information is needed to demonstrate impacts on soil health, biodiversity, and carbon stocks in order to inform farmer and policymaker decision-making, and support accelerated transitions to more sustainable practices. This project addresses this challenge.
