Seasonal Changes in Soil Organic Matter and Biomass and Labile Forms of Carbon as Influenced by Crop Rotations
Recent concerns about the role of carbon (C) in climate change and the implications about soil organic matter (SOM) for sustainable use of soils have underlined the need to examine the role of SOM in cropping systems, ...
Forage and Food Legumes in a Multi‐Year, Wheat‐Based Rotation Under Drought‐Stressed Conditions in Northern Syria’s Medium Rainfall Zone
Long-term crop rotation trials were designed to assess sustainability of alternatives to traditional fallow and monocropping. The trial described here (6 years) involved wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in rotation with lentil ...
Nutrient Dynamics in a Long‐Term Cereal‐Based Rotation Trial in a Mediterranean Environment: Nitrogen Forms
Mediterranean agriculture is mainly rainfed, with drought being the main crop production constraint, and is based on cereals, wheat (Triticum spp), and barley (Hordeum vulgare). Fallow was a traditional practice to conserve ...
Long-Term Cereal-Based Rotation Trials in the Mediterranean Region: Implications for Cropping Sustainability
With increasing global populations particularly in developing countries, and a limited or even shrinking supply of arable land, the challenge to agriculture is to meet the world's food and fiber needs without reducing the ...
