Role of cover crop roots in soil organic carbon accrual—A review

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 75, Issue 4, July–August 2024.
Abstract Appropriate cover crop (CC) management is an important tool for the improvement of soil carbon stock; however, the relationships between carbon accumulation and CC root traits remain unclear. A literature review was performed to identify the extent and focus of recent research and to answer questions about the role of root traits of CCs in ...
