Sequestering soil organic carbon (SOC) with cover crops (CCs) to mitigate climate change
and enhance other soil ecosystem services is generating much enthusiasm. However, the …

Crops that provide ecosystem services (ESs) beyond crop production are gaining interest
from farmers, policymakers, and society at large. Cover crops (CCs), grown either as the …

No-till is a top soil conservation practice, but if it will be used as a C sequestration strategy, it
needs enhancement. Companion practices including N fertilization and irrigation do not …

Forage crops have the potential to serve multiple functions, providing an ecological
framework to sustainably intensify food production, ie, ecological intensification. We review …

Cover crops (CCs) can affect the cropping systems' N dynamics and soil water content
(SWC), but optimizing their potential effects requires knowledge of their growth pattern, N …

Harvesting annual winter cereal rye (Secale cereale L.)(WCR) as an emergency forage
could offset cover crop establishment costs, facilitate WCR adoption, and still provide …

There is interest in harnessing cropland C storage potential at a large scale to mitigate
