Abstract Oats ('Avena sativa') were grown in outdoor plots in southern Ontario in 2003 and
2004 to determine if fungal hyphae growth associated with surface residue increased soil …

The influence of soil fungi on soil organic carbon (OC) from surface residue was tested in
outdoor plots in southern Ontario, Canada, 2004. Fungal hyphal length, soil aggregation …

The unique capacity of fungi to efficiently sequester carbon in aerobic conditions, presents a
way to maximize OC gain in agricultural systems. Oat (Avena sativa) was planted in the …

Conventional farming on Ultisols that are dominant in Southeast US has resulted in the loss
of soil organic matter over time. Conservation tillage farming practices that incorporate …

The nature of the contact between fresh organic matter and soil depends mainly on the
characteristics of the plant residues and on the physical properties of the soil. In a cultivated …

Growing cover crops in systems under no tillage affects different pools of soil organic matter,
and eventually soil physical attributes are modified. The objective of this study was to …

Corn (Zea mays L.) residue is being considered as a feedstock for biofuels production. The
impact of removing corn residue on soil productivity is not well understood. A corn–soybean …

Maintaining long‐term soil productivity requires development of cropping systems that
provide maintenance or improvement in soil structure and an understanding of associated …

Long-term intensive cultivation leads to the decrease of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil
fertility. Crop residue amendment to soil is documented as an effective measure to increase …

Cover cropping can improve soil health and resilience in semiarid cropping systems by
increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) pools, biological activity, nutrient …
