272 Supporting Ecosystem Services with Conservation Agriculture: II

Poster Session
S06 Soil & Water Management & Conservation Ecosystem services can be either degraded or enhanced with contemporary agricultural practices.� Conservation agricultural systems are diverse, but have three key principles that can be used and modified to improve ecosystem services: (1) minimizing soil disturbance, (2) maximizing soil surface cover, and (3) stimulating biological activity.� Greater appreciation is needed of the value of a diversity of conservation agricultural approaches to meet the growing interest of farmers, scientists, and society in developing a better environment that provides robust ecosystem functioning.� This symposium will bring together a diversity of topics and approaches under the theme of enhancing ecosystem services with conservation agricultural approaches.
