Agriculture by Irrigation Modifies Microbial Communities and Soil Functions Associated With Enhancing C Uptake of a Steppe Semi-Arid Soil in Northern Patagonia

The transformation of the semiarid steppe soil after 5 years of intensive irrigated agriculture in Northern Patagonia was analyzed in an on-farm study. The private grower venture used conservative practices, including no-till to maintain soil structure, high crop rotation and cover crops. To charact...
