Abstract:
... Adoption of conservation tillage in cotton cropping systems lags well behind other major crops in the United States. The Texas High Plains region is the largest cotton-producing region in the United States and is in an area where soil and water conservation are of utmost importance. There is little information of the impacts of conservation tillage on soil function within this environment, and lon ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the effects of long-term management practices on soil C and N pools and activities is essential for sustaining soil productivity. The objectives of this study were to evaluate long-term and seasonal changes in soil organic C (SOC), soil microbial biomass C (SMBC) and N (SMBN), and mineralizable C and N in continuous corn (Zea mays L.) under conventional tillage (CT), moldboard (MB), ...
