Short‐Term Effects of Cover Crops on Soil Microbial Characteristics and Biogeochemical Processes across Actively Managed Farms
Core Ideas The effect of cover crops on soil microbes and biogeochemistry was examined. Cover crops increase microbial biomass and bioavailable soil carbon. Increasing cover crop biomass amplifies belowground effects. Agricultural soils are largely degraded or under threat of degradation. Given a gr...
