Mechanical termination of a perennial grain crop minimally impacts soil structure, carbon and carbon dioxide emissions

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Introduction Mechanical termination of crops can negatively affect soil biological, chemical, and structural characteristics. Perennial crops do not require annual termination and can improve these same soil characteristics, which has catalysed interest ...

Nematode community structure suggests perennial grain cropping cultivation as a nature‐based solution for resilient agriculture

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Introduction Conventional agricultural land‐use may negatively impact biodiversity and the environment due to the increased disturbances to the soil ecosystem by tillage, for example. Cultivation of the perennial grain intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum
