Promoting soil health in organically managed systems: A review
KL Tully, C McAskill - Organic Agriculture, 2020 - Springer
Soil health is an old concept receiving renewed attention. Defined as a soil's capacity to
function, soil health is composed of physical, chemical, and biological attributes. The …

Permanganate oxidizable carbon reflects a processed soil fraction that is sensitive to management
Permanganate oxidizable C (POXC; ie, active C) is a relatively new method that can quantify
labile soil C rapidly and inexpensively. Despite limited reports of positive correlations with …

Comparison of permanganate‐oxidizable carbon and mineralizable carbon for assessment of organic matter stabilization and mineralization
Core Ideas POXC and mineralizable C were evaluated across diverse agroecosystems. The
two are related but differentially influenced by management practices. POXC better reflected …

Short‐and long‐term labile soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics reflect management and predict corn agronomic performance
Labile soil organic matter plays an extremely important role in crop nutrient acquisition, but
quantifying this pool can be prohibitively expensive to farmers. A better understanding of …

Impacts of organic zero tillage systems on crops, weeds, and soil quality
Organic farming has been identified as promoting soil quality even though tillage is used for
weed suppression. Adopting zero tillage and other conservation tillage practices can …
