This article reviews the literature available to assess the potential environmental impacts of conservation tillage in Europe, compared to conventional tillage systems. Because adoption of conservation tillage has been so limited in Europe, the author draws from studies based in other continents when there is insufficient European research on a particular factor.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightIntegrated crop managementConservation agricultureSoil degradationEnvironmental impactsSoil conservationSoil managementSoilConservation tillageWater pollutionPesticidesIntegrated farmingPollutionEuropeField ScaleAbstractCopyright 2004 Elsevier B.V.
