Conservation Systems for Positive Net Ecosystem Carbon Balance in Semiarid Drylands
Core Ideas The soil organic C dynamics and net ecosystem C balance of five dryland cropping systems were compared. Conservation systems stored up to 15% more soil organic C than conventional system. Net ecosystem C balance was positive with cover cropping. Cover crops and conservation tillage are cr...
