The principles of conservation agriculture are frequently assumed to increase soil organic carbon and crop yield under all circumstances. A new analysis confirms that this is not the case, and that the likelihood of increasing either soil organic carbon or crop yield is environmentally dependent. This is a commentary on Sun et al. 26, 3325–3335.
