Abstract:Cover crops (CC) could improve soil physical, chemical, and biological properties; however, the micrometer scale quantification of geometric pore characteristics in CC soil is limited in the literature. The objective of this study was to differentiate geometrical pore characteristics between CC and no CC (NCC) by computed tomography (CT). The study design consisted of winter CC and summer corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation with no‐till management. The sample cores were collected after… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
