Perennial Crops Can Compensate for Low Soil Carbon Inputs from Maize in Ley-Arable Systems

Perennial Crops Can Compensate for Low Soil Carbon Inputs from Maize in Ley-Arable Systems

(1) Background: Soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural soils plays a crucial role in mitigating global climate change but also, and maybe more importantly, in soil fertility and thus food security. Therefore, the influence of contrasting cropping systems on SOC not only in the topsoil, but also i...
