Assessment of carbon and nitrogen stocks in soil and soil organic matter fractions in an alley cropping system under a northern temperate climate

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Alley cropping, combining tree rows with wide alleys for agricultural crops, has demonstrated variable potential to store additional carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil, compared to conventional cropping. Studies quantifying C and N in particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM) are scarce, despite their ...
