Soil carbon stock and physical attributes under land‐use chronosequence in the Brazilian Cerrado
Abstract Land‐use changes impact soil physical quality and carbon stocks. Most studies evaluating the conversion of native Brazilian Cerrado to agriculture focus on surface soil layers (up to 40 cm), with fewer examining deeper layers (0–100 cm). This study assessed the impacts of different land‐use systems on soil physical attributes and soil organic ...

Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) fractionation methods are widely used to assess different carbon (C) pools, but their reproducibility, particularly with depth, remains unclear. This study evaluated the within‐site variability of chemical and physical fractionation methods for SOC at 0‐ to 30‐cm and 30‐ to 60‐cm depths across four apple (Malus ...

Abstract The agricultural sector contributes to the greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in the United States. In livestock systems, grass–legume mixtures provide agronomic benefits, but their role in GHG mitigation remains understudied. This study evaluated the short‐term effects of two forage treatments on nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon ...

Land‐use effects on soil moisture profile dynamics in a restrictive claypan soil
Abstract Claypan soils of the Central United States are characterized by restricted drainage and a sharp increase in clay content with depth. This results in soil moisture profiles that vary in total water content and in how moisture is distributed across depths.

Management of cover crops and soil amendments affect yield outcomes during organic transition
Abstract This study sought to assess the impact of cover cropping and high rates of soil amendments on crop yield during organic transition. Compost, biochar, or a “50/50” mixture of the two on a C‐equivalent basis were applied at a rate of 8 Mg C ha−1 per varying application regimens, with and without cover crops, at two locations on the North ...

Abstract Alley cropping is the production of annual and perennial cash crops between orchard trees. Despite its documented benefits, adoption of alley cropping in California remains limited. This paper describes a long‐term commercial alley cropping system in northern California and identifies research areas that can support this practice.

This study investigates the use of repeat lidar to detect changes in streambank erosion in an urban area by comparing lidar‐based results with field metrics. Results highlight the usefulness of using repeat lidar to detect erosion city‐wide and the importance of in‐field visits.

ABSTRACT Winter land‐use systems are an important but understudied component of agricultural management because long‐term practices may be associated with distinct soil conditions and microbial characteristics. However, whether different winter land‐use systems are consistently associated with differences in soil properties and microbial communities ...
