While no-till management practices usually result in increased soil organic carbon (SOC)
contents, the effect of residue removal with no-till is not well understood, especially in …

Proper management practices can turn soils into sinks for atmospheric carbon and mitigate
global warming. The objective of this study was to determine how crop residue management …

The effectiveness of no-till (NT) farming in reducing loss of soil organic matter (SOM)
depends on climate and soil properties. Soil samples were obtained from two long-term …

No‐till (NT) farming can restore the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool of agricultural soils, but
the SOC pool size and retention rate can vary with soil type and duration of NT. Therefore …

Core Ideas Cover crop generally had no effect on water infiltration, water retention, and
available water after 5 and 6 yr. Corn residue removal reduced water infiltration, water …

Conservation agriculture in its version of permanent raised bed planting with crop residue
retention increases yields and improves soil characteristics, eg aggregate distribution …

Recent concern about global warming has led to attempts to estimate the effects of
management on carbon sequestration in soil. The objective of this study is to determine the …

This chapter discusses the importance of crop residues to soil organic carbon (SOC)
dynamics and storage, as well as the implications of the expanded use of crop residues as …

Intensive tillage during the last century has greatly reduced organic carbon contents of
Oklahoma cropland. Increased public interest in carbon sequestration and the potential for …

Soils play a key role in the global carbon cycle. They can be a source or a sink of carbon
and influence CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. In order to calculate the carbon …
