Quantifying soil health in a topographically diverse warm-season perennial pasture over-seeded with a mix of cool-season annuals
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment(2019)
Abstract
•Plant growth limiting properties were not consistently related to topography.•Loss of NO3− and S (0–30 cm) over time continued despite use of cool-season annuals.•Overall, SOM increased 6% (0–15 cm) with cool-season annuals and rotational grazing.•Stable total C and N (0–30 cm) over time indicated system equilibrium was attained.
