Responses of leached nitrogen concentrations and soil health to winter rye cover crop under no-till corn-soybean rotation in the northern Great Plains

Arun Bawa et al.

Summary: Winter rye is an important cover crop in the northern Great Plains, but its establishment is limited by variable weather conditions. This study evaluated the impacts of no-till corn-soybean rotation with winter rye cover crop on water quality and soil health parameters. The results showed that winter rye cover crop had significant effects on reducing nitrate-N and total nitrogen concentrations in the soil, which can potentially improve water quality. Additionally, winter rye increased microbial activity and water-extractable organic nitrogen content in the soil, indicating potential improvements in soil health.

Cropping leads to loss of soil organic matter: How can we prevent it?

Vincent Chaplot et al.

Summary: Soil organic matter (SOM), storing carbon (C) and essential plant nutrients in the soil for thousands of years, has been recognized by scientists for its positive impact on vital environmental functions like food production and climate regulation. However, when virgin land (forests or grasslands) is converted to agriculture, the soil tends to lose its SOM, and the lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms has led to inappropriate interventions to combat soil, climate, and ecosystem deterioration.

A global meta-analysis of cover crop response on soil carbon storage within a corn production system

Deepak R. Joshi et al.

Summary: By analyzing the impacts of cover crops on soil organic carbon accumulation, this study found that cover crops can increase SOC by an average of 7.3%. The study also evaluated the influence of various factors on this impact, suggesting that current cover crop-based corn production systems in the United States sequester 5.5 million Mg of SOC annually and have the potential to sequester 175 million Mg SOC per year globally. These findings contribute to improving carbon footprint calculations and informing policy recommendations.

Nitrogen deficiency accelerates soil organic carbon decomposition in temperate degraded grasslands

Summary: The reduction of nitrogen availability significantly promotes soil organic carbon decomposition, especially the decomposition of recalcitrant carbon, while it does not affect or even decrease the decomposition of labile carbon.

Cover crops and carbon sequestration: Lessons from US studies

Humberto Blanco-Canqui

Summary: The potential of cover crops to sequester soil organic carbon is debated and further research is needed. Cover crops only increased soil organic carbon in a fraction of cases, with biomass and years of cover crop cultivation being key factors. Current management practices for cover crops should be modified to enhance soil organic carbon accumulation.

Photosynthetic limits on carbon sequestration in croplands

Henry Janzen et al.

Summary: The ability of global agricultural soils to store carbon to mitigate rising CO2 concentrations and the associated costs have been a focus of soil science for decades. Various methods have been used to estimate additional soil organic carbon storage, with this study taking a unique approach focusing on photosynthesis. Using a Fermi approach parameterized by literature data, the study estimated global net C inputs and additional C storage in cropland soils, advocating for a shift towards a wider ecosystem perspective starting with photosynthesis.

Summary: Using biochar and leguminous cover crops to replace natural summer fallowing in cereal-based cropping systems can have beneficial effects on conserving soil organic carbon, sustaining soil fertility, and improving soil quality.
