incomplete degradation and potential impact on subsequent crops, and we lack a reliable
method to measure mulch degradation post soil-incorporation. We conducted two field
experiments to (i) develop a sampling method to estimate the amount of mulch (fragments
size> 2.36 mm) in the field post soil-incorporation, and (ii) assess the amount of BDM in the
soil after four consecutive years of mulch incorporation. In Expt. 1, we used the quartering …
