Landscape-scale cropping changes in the High Plains: economic and environmental implications
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 A global transformation in semi-arid cropping systems is occurring as dryland (non-irrigated) farmers in semi-arid regions shift from crop rotations reliant on year-long bare fallows, called summer fallow, to more intensively cropped systems ...

Applying organic fertilizer in cassava (Manihot esculenta) – mungbean (Vigna radiata) intercropped to improve dryland productivity [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Organic matter content in the dryland farming system tends to decrease rapidlyin most of arid region of Eastern Indonesia. This experiment aimed to test that hypothesis by growing casava and mungbean with and without organic fertilizer (cattle manure ...

Enzyme activities as soil health indicators in relation to soil characteristics and crop production
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2022 Soil enzyme activities are known for early indicators of soil health but have not been related to most soil properties and crop yields. We examined the relationships among activities of four soil enzymes (β‐glucosidase [BG], N‐acetyl‐β‐glucosaminidase ...

Rice Paddies Reduce Subsequent Yields of Wheat Due to Physical and Chemical Soil Constraints
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Yields of wheat crops that succeed rice paddy crops are generally low. To date, it has been unclear whether such low yields were due to rice paddies altering soil physical or mineral characteristics, or both.

Spatial prioritisation of revegetation sites for dryland salinity management: an analytical framework using GIS [PDF]
, 2004 [Abstract]: To address the lack of analytical and modelling techniques in prioritising revegetation sites for dryland salinity management, a case study of the Hodgson Creek catchment in Queensland, Australia, was conducted.

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2020 Information is needed on the long‐term impact of cropping system and N fertilization on dryland soil health and crop yields. We studied the 13‐yr effect of cropping system and N fertilization rate on soil chemical properties at the 0‐ to 60‐cm depth and ...

Agronomic and economic impacts of cover crops in Texas rolling plains cotton
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2020 Cover crops have been proposed as a resource that could enhance the effect of no‐till (NT) cropping systems. Crop yield limitations due to cover crops in the U.S. Great Plains are a concern to potential adopters.
