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.nutrient use efficiencyorganic fertilizationsystem approachHelianthus annuus L.catch cropTexas High Plainsforage yield and qualityliving mulchnutrient cyclingqualityleguminous cover cropconservationlightsustainable crop productioncrop rotationWHCNSstemborercomplexityperennialmanuremaize productionSOC and STN stockscover cropsforage peayieldSDS-PAGE analysisvineyard systemdouble croppingwheatpartial returnssoybeanvetchnitrogen use efficiencyenzyme activitiesagrobiodiversitygross marginresidue C and N releasesystematic reviewmaizeprotein cropsno-tillageenvironmental qualityfall grazingkura clovercover croporganizationscenario analysescropping system designirrigationsustainable yield indexmultiple correspondence analysis (MCA)Acidic soilEuropeZea mais L.shadeup-scalingwaterconservation agriculturewater use efficiencyTriticum aestivum L.forage sorghumN use efficiencynutrient balanceorganic cropping systemforagedurum wheatcropping systemsnitrategrain yieldnitrogen nutritionconventionalizationcrop residue incorporationcereal ryegreen manurestraw decompositionhierarchical patch dynamicsN uptakefarmer’s perceptionpearl milletnitrogenfaba beanagroecologyharvesting strategiesricegluten fractionsweed suppressioneconomicsmineral N fertilizationpush-pull technologygrowthpotato (Solanum tuberosum)Coulter Jeffrey Aauth1314893BOOK9910404080903321Sustainable Cropping Systems3032105UNINA
