Efficacy of conservation tillage systems on soil quality in wheat-based cropping systems in dryland agroecosystems [PDF]
علوم محیطی, 2022 Introduction: Soil health as one of the main components to achieve sustainable agricultural systems is being adversely affected by agricultural operations such as tillage.

Soil profile health in the Palouse soil series: Carbon, nitrogen, nutrients, and aggregates
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2023 Deep soil health (>30 cm) supports deep roots in dryland wheat cropping systems. However, few studies examine how tillage and climate impact soil health indicators deeper than 30 cm in dryland wheat systems.

Redefining the link between rainfall and crop establishment in dryland cropping systems
Agricultural Systems, 2021 Abstract Context The seasonal break is a rainfall event that has traditionally initiated sowing and enabled plant establishment in Mediterranean-type environments. Despite its importance to crop production, neither the pattern of the seasonal break, nor the impact of recent autumn rainfall decline in eastern Australia on the pattern has been ...

Large-Scale Dryland Cropping Systems
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2017 A large-scale dryland cropping systems research and demonstration project at the Southwest ResearchExtension Center near Tribune, Kansas, evaluated two summer crops (corn and grain sorghum) along with winter wheat in crop rotations varying in length from 1 to 4 years.

Conservation Systems for Positive Net Ecosystem Carbon Balance in Semiarid Drylands
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2019 Core Ideas The soil organic C dynamics and net ecosystem C balance of five dryland cropping systems were compared. Conservation systems stored up to 15% more soil organic C than conventional system.

Relating soil physical properties to other soil properties and crop yields
Scientific Reports, 2022 Soil physical properties can be related to other soil properties and crop yields, but their evaluations as soil health indicators relating to extensive soil properties and long-term crop yields need further exploration. We evaluated the long-term (14 and

Replacing fallow with warm‐season annual crops in dryland wheat systems [PDF]
Agronomy Journal, 2021 AbstractRotating wheat (Triticum spp.) with fallow is a popular practice in the North American Great Plains, in spite of environmental degradation and economic inefficiencies. Two‐year crop sequences were established in four fields in central Montana to determine if grain yield could be maintained when wheat followed warm‐season annual crops compared ...
