Journal ArticleDOI

Field-scale variability of soil properties in central iowa soils

TL;DR: In this paper, field-scale distributions and spatial trends for 28 different soil parameters at two sites within a watershed in central Iowa were investigated using semivariograms and the ratio of nugget to total semivariance, expressed as a percentage, was used to classify spatial dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of regional soil quality factors and indicators : I. Central and Southern High Plains

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify soil quality factors present at a regional scale, determine which factors vary significantly with land use, and select soil attributes within these factors that can be used as soil quality indicators for regional-scale assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface and subsurface microbial biomass, community structure and metabolic activity as a function of soil depth and season

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a 3 H-acetate incorporation into phospholipids and incubated the soil samples at the average winter and summer temperatures, 3 and 20 ◦ C, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rye Cover Crop and Gamagrass Strip Effects on NO3 Concentration and Load in Tile Drainage

TL;DR: Rye winter cover crops grown after corn and soybean have the potential to reduce the NO3 concentrations and loads delivered to surface waters by subsurface drainage systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water Quality in Walnut Creek Watershed: Nitrate-Nitrogen in Soils, Subsurface Drainage Water, and Shallow Groundwater

TL;DR: A 4-yr study was conducted to assess the extent of NO 3 -N leaching in a central Iowa field as mentioned in this paper, where water flow rate was monitored continuously and data were stored on an internal datalogger.
