Table 5 The impact of the rye cover crop in Year 1 (2019 to 2020) and Year 2 (2020 to 2021) on the amount of inorganic nitrogen (NO3 + NH4) and soil organic carbon (SOC) contained in the surface 15 cm after different decomposition days. Different letters following numbers within a column indicate significant differences among various levels of “days of decomposition” at p = 0.05. The p-value comparing cover crop and no-cover crop treatment within each “days of decomposition” is provided in the last row for each year.
