Characterizing nitrogen use efficiency in natural and agricultural ecosystems to improve the performance of cereal crops in low-input and organic agricultural systems

JC Dawson, DR Huggins, SS Jones - Field Crops Research, 2008 - Elsevier
Low-input and organic farming systems have notable differences in nitrogen (N) sources,
cycling and management strategies compared to conventional systems with high inputs of …

Nitrate losses through subsurface tile drainage in conservation reserve program, alfalfa, and row crop systems

GW Randall, DR Huggins, MP Russelle, DJ Fuchs… - 1997 - Wiley Online Library
Subsurface drainage of gravitational water from the soil profile through tiles is a common
practice used to improve crop production on poorly drained soils. Previous research has often …

Soil carbon pools and fluxes in long-term corn belt agroecosystems

…, K Paustian, LG Bundy, WA Dick, DR Huggins… - Soil biology and …, 2000 - Elsevier
The dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) play an important role in long-term ecosystem
productivity and the global C cycle. We used extended laboratory incubation and acid …

Nitrogen efficiency component analysis: an evaluation of cropping system differences in productivity

DR Huggins, WL Pan - Agronomy Journal, 1993 - Wiley Online Library
The development of cropping systems that use N efficiently requires methods that evaluate
system differences in N use. A procedure, based conceptually on soil and plant processes …

Spatial and temporal variation in economically optimum nitrogen rate for corn

M Mamo, GL Malzer, DJ Mulla, DR Huggins… - Agronomy …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The economically optimum N rate (EONR) required for corn (Zea mays L.) may vary
spatially due to variation in soil characteristics and temporally due to the interactions of …

Soil carbon dynamics in corn‐based agroecosystems: Results from carbon‐13 natural abundance

…, LG Bundy, WA Dick, DR Huggins… - Soil Science Society …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
We used natural 13 C abundance in soils to calculate the fate of C 4 ‐C inputs in fields cropped
to continuous corn (Zea mays L.). Soil samples were collected from eight cultivated and …

Soil organic C in the tallgrass prairie-derived region of the corn belt: effects of long-term crop management

DR Huggins, GA Buyanovsky, GH Wagner… - Soil and Tillage …, 1998 - Elsevier
Concerns with rising atmospheric levels of CO 2 have stimulated interest in C flow in terrestrial
