Modern agricultural intensifcation is one of the major threats to global biodiversityof the Anthropocene (Boivin and Crowther 2021). The associated activities withagriculture, such as chemical applications, tillage, monoculture practices, amongothers, are considered the most important drivers of global changes through theireffects on the biodiversity and ecosystem functions around the world (IPCC 2019).In agroecosystems, some practices like no-tillage (NT) systems, characterized by areduction in the intensity and/or number of tillage operations (Kabir 2005), haveevidenced an increased crop diversity, improved soil fertility and water use, and adecreased soil erosion and chemical input, compared to conventional tillage
