Journal ArticleDOI
Winter cover crop effects on soil organic carbon and carbohydrate in soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the soil organic carbon and carbohydrate concentrations in soil as affected by several leguminous and nonleguminous cover crops after 6 yr of a corn (Zea mays L.) cover crop double cropping system in a temperate, humid region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effects of tillage, cover crops, and nitrogen fertilization on organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations in sandy loam soils in Georgia, USA
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of 6 years of tillage (no-till, NT; chisel plowing, CP; and moldboard plowing), cover crop (hairy vetch ( Vicia villosa Roth.) vs. winter weeds), and N fertilization (0, 90, and 180 kg N 1 ) on soil organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N 2 ) concentrations in a Norfolk sandy loam under tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and silage corn ( Zea mays L.).
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil carbon dioxide emission and carbon content as affected by irrigation, tillage, cropping system, and nitrogen fertilization.
TL;DR: Regardless of irrigation, CO(2) flux can be reduced from croplands to a level similar to that in CRP planting using no-tilled crops with or without N fertilization compared with other management practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Winter cover cropping influence on nitrogen in soil
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of several cover crops on soil inorganic and organic N levels in a winter cover crop-silage corn (Zea mays L.) double-cropping system that was initiated in 1987 were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cover crops and nitrogen fertilization effects on soil aggregation and carbon and nitrogen pools
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cover crops and N fertilization rates on soil aggregation and associated C and N pools, thereby affecting soil quality and productivity, were compared with legume [hairy vetch (V...
