DOI: 10.1002/agj2.21628
Abstract: Efforts to address economic and environmental concerns surrounding nitrogen (N) have motivated attempts to improve estimates of plant‐available N in soil. Several soil health indicators, including CO2 burst, permanganate oxidizable carbon (C) (POXC), and autoclaved‐citrate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.20338
Abstract: Watershed-scale hydrologic models are commonly used to assess the water quality effects of agricultural conservation practices that improve soil health (e.g., cover crops and no-till). However, models rarely account for how these practices (i.e., 'soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.70049
Abstract: Abstract Social outcomes of agricultural practice adoption are often excluded from adoption studies, particularly outcomes related to community well‐being. In large part, this is because assessing the social well‐being outcomes of sustainable agricultural practices lacks… read more here.
