Environmental sustainability in US dairy farms: Policies, practices, and outcomes

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Improving sustainability on US dairy farms has become a critical focus across the industry. As dairy farms continue to consolidate, there is a growing need to identify scalable, implementable soil health management practices that enhance environmental sustainability in the fields managed by the dairy.

The key role of local and global farmer networks in the development of conservation agriculture in California

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract This article chronicles the history of California's Conservation Agriculture Systems Innovation (CASI) Center and how it has increased agricultural sustainability in the San Joaquin Valley, a major production area for the United States, by using agroecological practices to reduce soil erosion and conserve soil moisture, champion systems ...

Fall‐applied manure can conserve excess soil‐profile inorganic‐N for the subsequent cropping year

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract To investigate dairy manure urea fertilizer interactions in cropped soils of the semiarid‐West, we fall‐applied and incorporated (0–0.3 m) soil urea‐N (FertN) rates of 10 (N0), 45 (N1), and 80 mg N kg−1 (N2), co‐applied with either no manure or 86 Mg ha−1 (dry wt.) stockpiled dairy manure.

Testing Wisconsin P index assessments across cropping systems

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing agricultural runoff phosphorus (P) often requires understanding management effects on both dissolved P (DP) and particulate (sediment‐bound) P (PP). The Wisconsin P index (WPI) allows producers to assess land management effects on runoff P by estimating annual P losses in mass per unit area.

Phosphorus fractions status of representative agricultural fields in North Carolina

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Most agricultural soils in North Carolina have high levels of available phosphorus (P), yet little is known about other accumulated P fractions and their associated environmental risks. This study characterized soil P fractions through sequential chemical fractionation of 391 samples (0–10 cm and 10–20 cm) collected from 57 counties across ...

Can conservation drainage practices contribute to climate change mitigation?

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation drainage practices can mitigate water quality impacts of subsurface drainage, but their potential for climate change mitigation remains poorly understood. We summarized processes by which tile‐drained croplands impact climate and assessed potential of conservation drainage practices to alter emissions of the greenhouse gases ...
