Short summary
We assessed three soil quality indicators across Walloon Conservation Agriculture (CA) fields, accounting for practice diversity within four CA-types. Soil indicators varied significantly among CA-types. Inclusion of temporary grasslands in the crop sequence emerged as the most influential factor. Our findings show that CA effects depend on the combination of practices, highlighting the need for a systemic, context-based evaluation of soil quality.
