- Abstract:
- ... BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cover crops may restore soil functions lost with single summer crop sequences enhancing soil organic carbon and nitrogen (SOC and SON) stocks. We investigated the effect of cover crops and low nitrogen (N) fertilization on SOC and SON and soil structure (pore size distribution and aggregate stability), and connected changes with cover crop-related variables. METHODS: We used a ...

- Abstract:
- ... BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Priority effects can be caused by an individual plant within a population that is the first to occupy and explore nutrient patches. However, the magnitude of priority effects of exploring a nutrient patch on plant growth during the ontogeny remains obscure. METHODS: A 30-day rhizo-box experiment and a 2-year field trial with maize (Zea mays L) were conducted to examine the inf ...

This study examined the adaptation and melioration strategies of farmers who cultivate sites with such root-restricting layers (RRLs). METHODS: The German Agricultural Soil Inventory was evaluated with respect to land use and crop rotations on sites with and without RRLs. The lik ...

Many studies show that maize (Zea mays L.) has a preference for NH₄⁺ uptake over NO₃⁻, but the contribution of this preference to NRE is unclear. This study evaluated the utilization of ammonium (NH₄⁺) and nitrate (NO₃⁻) by maize and its relationship with NRE. METHODS: Ma ...
