Cropping system influences on soil chemical properties and soil quality in the Great Plains

Soil management and cropping systems have long-term effects on agronomic and environmental functions. This study examined the influence of contrasting management practices on selected soil chemical properties in eight long-term cropping system studies throughout the Great Plains and the western Corn...

description Soil management and cropping systems have long-term effects on agronomic and environmental functions. This study examined the influence of contrasting management practices on selected soil chemical properties in eight long-term cropping system studies throughout the Great Plains and the western Corn Belt. For each study, soil organic C (SOC), total N (TN), particulate organic matter (POM), inorganic N, electrical conductivity (EC), and soil pH were evaluated at 0–7.5, 7.5–15, and 15–30 cm within conventional (CON) and alternative (ALT) cropping systems for 4 years (1999–2002). Treatment effects were primarily limited to the surface 7.5 cm of soil. No-tillage (NT) and/or elimination of fallow in ALT cropping systems resulted in significantly (P

The same pattern was observed with POM, where POM was significantly (P&lt;0.05) greater at four of the eight study sites [Bushland, TX, Mandan, ND, Sidney, Montana (MT), and Swift Current, SK]. No consistent pattern was observed with soil EC and pH due to management, although soil EC explained almost 60% of the variability in soil NO3-N at 0–7.5 cm across all locations and sampling times. In general, chemical soil properties measured in this study consistently exhibited values more conducive to crop production and environmental quality in ALT cropping systems relative to CON cropping systems.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1742-1705</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1742-1713</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1079/RAFS2005123</identifier><identifier>CODEN: AJAAEZ</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press</publisher><subject>Agricultural management ; Agrology ; Chemical ecology ; Chemical properties ; Corn belt ; Crop production ; Crop science ; Cropping systems ; electrical conductivity ; Environmental quality ; Fallowing ; management practices ; Organic soils ; Particulate organic matter ; Research Papers ; soil acidity ; Soil biochemistry ; Soil management ; Soil organic matter ; Soil pH ; Soil properties ; Soil quality ; Soil science ; Soil sciences ; Tillage</subject><ispartof>Renewable agriculture and food systems, 2006-03, Vol.21 (1), p.26-35</ispartof><rights>Copyright © Cambridge University Press 2006</rights><rights>CAB International 2006</rights><rights>Copyright CABI Publishing Mar 2006</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c389t-bfd0b878329095154a97926d17de4e8c80c4f55edee8537187cfe96fa163e2913</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c389t-bfd0b878329095154a97926d17de4e8c80c4f55edee8537187cfe96fa163e2913</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/44490456$$EPDF$$P50$$Gjstor$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/S1742170506000044/type/journal_article$$EHTML$$P50$$Gcambridge$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27915,27916,58229,58462,72721</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Mikha, M.M.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Vigil, M.F.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Liebig, M.A.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bowman, R.A.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>McConkey, B.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Deibert, E.J.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Pikul, J.L.</creatorcontrib><title>Cropping system influences on soil chemical properties and soil quality in the Great Plains</title><title>Renewable agriculture and food systems</title><addtitle>Renew.
