Abstract

Much of the available soil organic carbon (SOC) is in subsoil, yet few studies have evaluated how crop rotation affects SOC below the plow layer. This project looks at whether crop rotations with greater belowground C inputs would increase SOC stocks by delivering C to subsoil with relatively low SOC levels.
