Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...
