Soil Structural Quality and Relationships With Root Properties in Single and Integrated Farming Systems

Soil Structural Quality and Relationships With Root Properties in Single and Integrated Farming Systems

Single farming systems (SFS) such as monocultures may negatively affect soil structural quality. This study tested the hypothesis that integrated farming systems (IFS), i.e., the combination of cropping and forestry and/or livestock farming, improves soil structural quality, root development and soi...
