Summary
Enhancing soil carbon stocks is important to improve soil quality, but also plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change. The potential of innovative approaches such as regenerative farming practices for increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) needs to be explored. A randomized block experiment was established on an organic farm in Hesse, Germany, to assess the effects of different regenerative agricultural (RA) practices on SOC stock changes over a period of three years (2020–2023). The treatments included minimum tillage combined with cover and nurse crops (RA), RA practices plus the incorporation of biochar (BC) at 30 cm depth with a subsoil loosening device (RABC) and conventional soil cultivation with ploughing and moderate cover cropping as a control. In the beginning and at the en
