Riassunto analitico
The aims of this study are to:
• investigate the effect of functional diversity of cover crop species on two of the most relevant agro-ecosystem services: nitrogen supply and weed suppression;
• highlight the role of functional composition (i.e. complementarity of cover crop species) on the provision of agro-ecosystem services;
• characterise cover crop functional traits for competitive ability against weeds;
• test conservative management strategies in organic/low input agriculture.
