Maximizing soil organic carbon stocks through optimal ploughing and renewal strategies in (Ley) grassland
T. Hu, S. L. Malone, et al.
This study by Teng Hu, Sparkle L. Malone, Cornelia Rumpel, and Abad Chabbi unveils how ley grasslands in crop rotations play a critical role in enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, with striking findings that extending ley durations beyond three years does not yield additional benefits. Discover the optimal strategies for ploughing and renewal intervals to maximize SOC stocks under future climate scenarios.
