DOI: 10.1002/agj2.21735
Abstract: Cover crops in organic cotton systems can offset the carbon loss typically observed in conventional systems. However, their effects on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and soil microclimate are poorly understood. Our objective was to investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/agj2.70011
Abstract: Winter cover crops reduce erosion and nutrient runoff from agricultural systems. Although cereal cover crops can decrease field nitrate leaching by 50%–95%, the magnitude of this reduction varies within and between fields, making it challenging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/agj2.70125
Abstract: Field experiments were conducted in Parma and Kimberly, ID, in 2023 and 2024 to determine weed suppression by fall‐planted small grain cover crops in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Cover crops included barley (Hordeum vulgare… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/agj2.70237
Abstract: Cover crops (CCs) are increasingly recognized for their multifunctionality in provisioning, regulating, and supporting ecosystem services. CCs are characterized by different functional groups, which deliver distinct benefits, such as N fixation, nutrient scavenging, or pest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.20063
Abstract: An integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS), when managed properly, can help in mitigating soil surface greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes, especially carbon dioxide (CO2 ), methane (CH4 ), and nitrous oxide (N2 O). However, the impacts of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.20217
Abstract: The Midwestern US is a highly productive agricultural region, and extended crop-free periods in winter/spring can result in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) losses to waterways that degrade downstream water quality. Planting winter cover crops… read more here.

Abstract: Cover crops can reduce nitrate leaching after cash crop harvest. Despite widespread cover crop implementation there has been a limited impact on water quality in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. We hypothesize that typical timing for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.20388
Abstract: Nutrient loading from conventional row-crop production systems impairs surface waterbodies in the mid-southern USA. This study was conducted to determine whether minimum tillage and winter cover crops can decrease nutrient loading in surface runoff from… read more here.
