The use of crop residues as a bioenergy feedstock is considered a potential strategy to
mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, indiscriminate harvesting of crop …

Soil carbon (SC) is important for food security, ecosystem functioning, and environmental
health, especially in light of global climate change. The physico-chemical character of …

Core Ideas Corn residue removal reduces soil organic C stocks and other soil properties.
Cover crop increases soil organic C stocks and other properties. Cover crop may not offset …

Annual removal of crop residues may lead to depletion of soil organic carbon and soil
degradation. Gasification biochar (GB), the carbon-rich byproduct of gasification of biomass …

Core Ideas Removal of corn and sorghum residues did not affect soil carbon under no‐
tillage. Soil carbon (0–15 cm) increased in 10‐yr stands of switchgrass and miscanthus. Soil …

Integration of crops with livestock is receiving increased attention to improve soil productivity
and environmental quality. Grazing of crop residues is an important practice, particularly …

A crucial factor that determines the development of production and consumption markets for
biofuels is the choice of raw materials that can ensure the highest possible production …

Strategic management of crop residues is essential to enhance soil quality for sustainable
agriculture. However, little is known about the specific amounts of crop residues needed to …

Background and aims Various tests have been developed for quantifying soil health, such
as Haney soil health test (HSHT), Solvita, and Solvita labile amino N (SLAN). Although …

Harvesting cover crops (CCs) for livestock and biofuel production can be an important
ecosystem service from CCs, but this potential service has not been widely discussed. We …
