Journal ArticleDOI
An approach for estimating net primary productivity and annual carbon inputs to soil for common agricultural crops in Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, the root-derived carbon (C) in these coefficients was estimated by reviewing studies reporting information on plant shoot-to-root (S:R) ratios (n = 168), which were highest for small-grain cereals (7.4), followed by corn (5.6), and lowest for forages (1.6).
Journal ArticleDOI
Greenhouse gas contributions of agricultural soils and potential mitigation practices in Eastern Canada
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compiled the most up-to-date information available on the contribution of agricultural soils to atmospheric levels of these gases and evaluated the mitigation potential of various management practices in eastern Canada and northeastern USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation tillage and depth stratification of porosity and soil organic matter
B. D. Kay,A.J. VandenBygaart +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared conventional tillage (CT) with no-till (NT) in temperate agroecosystems with varying soil textures and climates for the purpose of assessing rates of change in the magnitude and stratigraphy of bulk density, porosity, pore size classes, organic matter content and organic matter fractions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of agricultural management on soil organic carbon: A compendium and assessment of Canadian studies
TL;DR: In this paper, a total of 62 studies were compiled, in which the difference in soil organic carbon (SOC) was determined for conversion from native land to cropland, and for different tillage, crop rotation and fertilizer management practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crop residue removal and fertilizer N: Effects on soil organic carbon in a long-term crop rotation experiment on a Udic Boroll
TL;DR: In this article, a 50-yr field experiment was analyzed to determine the influence of removing approximately 22% of the above-ground wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) residue each crop year, and N and P fertilization on soil carbon (C) in the top 15 cm depth of a fallow-wheat-wet-wat rotation.
