Here we present the detailed spatial results of the projected effects of an additional 10% increase in key management practices (organic matter addition, reduced tillage, crop rotation, organic farming) on ecosystem services (crop yield, soil organic matter and soil biodiversity) for a variety of crops (cereals, rice, maize, soybean, vegetables, pasture, permanent crops).

Note: Because of the large number of figures in this section we have only here included maps showing mean increase. Additional maps showing the standard deviations of the projected effects are included in the »full report.
