Is there any robust data that can support any robust conclusions here?

While you mention the weakness of your snapshot in time data, still, how do you justify using it to extrapolate to anything beyond those fields in that season?

How were the market prices calculated? Were they the price on a certain day, an average?

Where is the data on energy inputs and outputs, monetary inputs and outputs in Table S2?

How do you account for seasonal differences in mineralization, and crop rotation differences, with just one 10-day test?

How can you say the organic fields are different from the conventional fields with just two days of data from the same season?

How can the economic values be different if the mineralization rates were not different?
