Summary
ABSTRACT Maintaining or even enhancing the productivity of arable soils is essential for ensuring food security, in addition to meeting feed and fibre needs. Relationships between yield, soil properties and management are complex and vary between environments; therefore, site‐specific knowledge of yield‐governing factors is needed to close any potential yield gaps. Soil organic carbon content (SOC) is a potential key factor in soil fertility management due to its manifold influence on soil functions. This study assessed the association of spring cereal yield with SOC and other soil properties as well as management practices in boreal mineral soils. Linear mixed‐effects models were applied on a data set collected from 43 field sites in Finland varying in production potential with special in
