Contributing Benchmarks
Evidence & Context
This range aligns directly with the core tenets of regenerative agriculture, which advocate for keeping the soil covered at all times, and best management practices designed to achieve near-complete soil coverage throughout the majority of the year.
Bare Ground (%)
This benchmark defines an optimal range of 0 to 10% bare ground, reflecting best management practices that maintain near-complete soil coverage in Tropical Monsoonal Savannas agricultural systems.
Aligns with regenerative agriculture principles and best practices emphasizing continuous soil cover.
