Iowa State University: Diverse Cropping Systems Don't Increase Carbon Storage Compared to Corn-Soybean Rotations
AMES, Iowa, Jan. 21 [TNSbiologyresearch] -- Iowa State University issued the following news release:
Integrating perennial crops into corn and soybean rotations doesn't consistently increase the ability of soils to store carbon, according to a new study that defies expectations for how diverse cropping systems affect carbon sequestration.
