Impact of simulated drought and cover crop mixtures on subsequent spring wheat yield
Abstract Cover crops (CCs) are promoted as a mechanism for reducing soil erosion, enhancing soil fertility, and improving diversity in agricultural systems, but in drier climates, there are concerns about their impact on soil water availability for the subsequent crop.

Pearl millet demonstrates potential as a forage and cover crop in Wisconsin vegetable systems
Abstract Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), a crop that is recognized for heat and drought tolerance and ability to suppress root‐lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans), could serve as a suitable forage and cover crop for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and vegetable production systems in Wisconsin.

Crop and soil responses to 24 years of wheat residue removal and tillage
Abstract Retaining crop residue on agricultural land mitigates soil erosion and conserves nutrients, but its removal generates a valuable commodity for competing uses in agriculture and industry. Understanding long‐term effects of crop residue removal on crop performance and soil condition is essential to guide management decisions regarding ...

Winter biomass potential of four cover crop species: Wheat, rye, triticale, and canola
Abstract This study examines variability in predicted aboveground biomass (AGB) of winter cover crops (CCs) across Nebraska, focusing on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), triticale (× Triticosecale), and canola (Brassica napus L.).

Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops
Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

Miscanthus Leaf Drop Timing Impacts Autumn and Winter Soil Decomposition Rates
Genotypic variation in Miscanthus leaf senescence was simulated in different leaf drop profiles combined with standardized buried litter bags to estimate impacts on soil decomposition. Litter drop occurring over shorter periods resulted in lower soil decomposition; concentrated winter leaf drop is preferred due to longer‐term soil organic carbon ...

Farming in the shadows of Rome: A multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Loch Clunie—Perthshire
ABSTRACT Roman impacts on local society is a subject of international significance. Loch Clunie, Perthshire, lies only 5.4 km from Inchtuthil, the only Roman legionary fortress in Scotland, and contains two crannogs and a probable lakeside hillfort. Despite this proximity and the likelihood of local–Roman interaction, these sites remain unexcavated ...
