Soil organic carbon, aggregation, and microbial community structure in annual and perennial biofuel crops
AR McGowan, RS Nicoloso, HE Diop… - Agronomy …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
