Crop rotations differ in soil carbon stabilization efficiency, but the response to quality of structural plant inputs is ambiguous
This study set out to evaluate crop rotation diversity, perenniality, carbon inputs, and carbon input quality as predictors of soil organic carbon concentration and aggregate size.
Soil organic matter as catalyst of crop resource capture
News:
Focus on continuous living cover, not adding more crops to rotation, to see soil carbon gains
Diverse crop rotations – those with a greater variety of crops over time – have been recently promoted as a …

New research in @NatureFoodJnl finds that yields of crops used for processing, animal feed and industrial uses are rising faster than yields for crops directly used for food. Nice work by @RayDeepakk @alpineglow and team. https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-022-00504-z
Our latest in @ScienceMagazine shows trends in the land-use GHG emissions embodied in global trade 2004-2017. Yrs in the making, this completes the picture of consumption-based GHG accounting.
