This is constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, and land. There is also an urgent need to reduce the negative environmental impacts of crop production. Collectively, these issues represent one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. Sustainable cropping systems based on ecological principles are the core of integrated approaches to solve this critical challenge. This special issue provides an international basis for revealing the underlying mechanisms of sustainable cropping systems to drive agronomic innovations. It includes review and original research articles that report novel scientific findings on improvement in cropping systems related to crop yields and their resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors, resource use efficiency, environmental impact, sustainability, and ecosystem services.Biology, life sciencesbicsscAcidic soilagrobiodiversityagroecologycatch cropcereal ryecomplexityconservationconservation agricultureconventionalizationcover cropcover cropscrop residue incorporationcrop rotationcropping system designcropping systemsdouble croppingdurum wheateconomicsenvironmental qualityenzyme activitiesEuropefaba beanfall grazingfarmer's perceptionforageforage peaforage sorghumforage yield and qualitygluten fractionsgrain yieldgreen manuregross margingrowthharvesting strategiesHelianthus annuus L.hierarchical patch dynamicsirrigationkura cloverleguminous cover croplightliving mulchmaizemaize productionmanuremineral N fertilizationmultiple correspondence analysis (MCA)N uptakeN use efficiencynitratenitrogennitrogen nutritionnitrogen use efficiencyno-tillagenutrient balancenutrient cyclingnutrient use efficiencyorganic cropping systemorganic fertilizationorganizationpartial returnspearl milletperennialpotato (Solanum tuberosum)protein cropspush-pull technologyqualityresidue C and N releasericescenario analysesSDS-PAGE analysisshadeSOC and STN stockssoybeanstemborerstraw decompositionsustainable crop productionsustainable yield indexsystem approachsystematic reviewTexas High PlainsTriticum aestivum L.up-scalingvetchvineyard systemwaterwater use efficiencyweed suppressionWHCNSwheatyieldZea mais L.Biology, life sciencesCoulter Jeffrey Aauth1314893BOOK9910404080903321Sustainable Cropping Systems3032105UNINA
