Clemson-led research finds cover crop types alter soil organic carbon content, composition
When it comes to adding carbon to the soil, all cover crops don’t perform equally, according to a team of researchers whose new study revealed the disparity for the first time.
'The study, led by Clemson University Assistant Professor Vidya Suseela in collaboration with researchers from Penn State University and Cornell University, shows cover crop mixtures with legumes, grasses and brassicas can increase long- and short-term soil carbon sequestration.
