ABSTRACT As our rapidly growing human population puts great demands on our agricultural production systems, we must promote management practices that balance both food and environmental objectives. We focus this literature review on farm management strategies that tighten nutrient cycles and maintain yields. We examined six metrics for efficient nutrient cycling in agroecosystems: reduced runoff and erosion, reduced leaching, improved soil carbon storage, enhanced microbial biomass, low…
