Cover crops provide many ecosystem services, such as soil protection, nitrate pollution of
water mitigation, and green manure effects. However, the impact of cover crops on soil water …

Cereal rye (Secale cereale) is a multi‐purpose crop, harvested for grain (for food, feed, and
other products) as well as used as a forage or cover crop. The functionality of rye across …

Cover cropping is practiced to enhance soil health and sustain succeeding crop yield;
however, the effect of cover crop on soil water storage, succeeding crop yield, and water-use …

Improved prediction of optimal N fertilizer rates for corn (Zea mays L.) can reduce N losses
and increase profits. We tested the ability of the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator …

Heat and drought are two emerging climatic threats to the US maize and soybean
production, yet their impacts on yields are collectively determined by the magnitude of …

Cover crops have been proposed as a tool for adapting cropping systems to drought stress
caused by climate change. However, little research has directly evaluated whether cover …

Increasing nitrogen (N)-use efficiency (NUE) is key to improving crop production while
mitigating ecologically-damaging environmental N losses. Traditional approaches to assess …

Core Ideas We reviewed aboveground biomass and total N content of hairy vetch–cereal rye
mixtures vs. monocultures. Overall, mixtures produced equivalent or more biomass and N …

Intensive nitrogen (N) fertilization is often associated with corn (Zea mays L.) production, and
winter cover in the form of rye (Secale cereale L.) is proposed as a means to conserve …

Shallow water table (WT) influences crop growth and production in many major agricultural
regions across the globe. We enhanced the APSIM-soybean model to accurately simulate …
