Key Points

Identify the conditions under which organic and conventional agricultural systems enhance soil organic matter accumulation.
Evaluated soil-building outcomes across distinct organic and conventional production systems.
Examined agricultural management practices aligned with primary biological and physical drivers of organic matter.
Both organic and conventional management systems demonstrate the capacity to build soil.
Positive soil outcomes occur when management practices actively reinforce the dominant drivers governing organic matter dynamics.
