TL;DR: This work proposes to farmers, advisors, and researchers a dynamic and flexible approach that accounts for the diversity of farming situations and the complexities of agroecosystems and that can improve the resilience of cropping systems and the authors' capacity to adapt crop protection to local realities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cultural practices (e.g., fertilization and direct weed control) on crop:weed interactions usually manifest themselves more slowly in organic agriculture, and it follows that weed management should be tackled in an extended time domain and needs deep integration with the other cultural practices, aiming to optimize the whole cropping system rather than weed control per se.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodological framework was developed which can help researchers and policy makers to think in a better, more structured way about issues related to biodiversity conservation in a given agroecosystem.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, under the authors' Mediterranean climate, it is easier to conserve or increase SOC and STN by adopting NT than CT, which requires higher N fertilization rates and introduction of highly productive cover crops.

TL;DR: Results suggested that crop rotation and substitution of mouldboard ploughing by non-inversion tillage (especially by minimum tillage) would not result in increased weed problems, whereas use of no tillage might increase weed infestations because of higher seedling recruitment from the topsoil.
