Notation and semi-arid SOC.

1. Some guidance on using mathematical notation in ecology - Edwards - 2019 - Methods in Ecology and Evolution

   Our guidance goes beyond typesetting, and is aimed to help authors think about the choice of notation to improve clarity and understanding. The onus for good notation should be on authors rather than journals.

   For example:

   

   where

   MIMU = Metric I Made Up
   V_ui = Variable of unknown importance
   V_ui' = Variable of unclear identity
   Y = You Guessed It Another Variable Without Intuitive Meaning

2. Soil organic carbon sequestration potential of conservation agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions: A review

   • Cover crops and diverse crop rotation increased SOC in 91 and 81% of comparisons.

   • SOC accumulation was 28–66% greater with conservation than conventional tillage.

   • SOC accumulation occurred at a greater rate in the first ten years of improved management.
