Inter-annual changes in the aggregate-size distribution and associated carbon of soil and their effects on the straw-derived carbon incorporation under long-term no-tillage
Published 2018-11-01Get full textConverting from conventional tillage to no-tillage influences the soil aggregate-size distribution and thus soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization. However, the dynamics of soil aggregation and the straw-derived carbon (C) incorporation within aggregate fractions are not well understood. An experim...
