Cover crops provide many ecosystem services, such as soil protection, nitrate pollution of
water mitigation, and green manure effects. However, the impact of cover crops on soil water …

Incorporating cover crops into farming systems represents a potential pathway to
maintaining crop productivity and achieving multiple environmental benefits. However, how …

Cover crop** is practiced to enhance soil health and sustain succeeding crop yield;
however, the effect of cover crop on soil water storage, succeeding crop yield, and water-use …

There is interest in harnessing cropland C storage potential at a large scale to mitigate
climate change and improve land productivity. While the effects of soil management …

Improved prediction of optimal N fertilizer rates for corn (Zea mays L.) can reduce N losses
and increase profits. We tested the ability of the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator …

Heat and drought are two emerging climatic threats to the US maize and soybean
production, yet their impacts on yields are collectively determined by the magnitude of …

Cover crops have been proposed as a tool for adapting crop** systems to drought stress
caused by climate change. However, little research has directly evaluated whether cover …

Increasing nitrogen (N)-use efficiency (NUE) is key to improving crop production while
mitigating ecologically-damaging environmental N losses. Traditional approaches to assess …

Intensive nitrogen (N) fertilization is often associated with corn (Zea mays L.) production, and
winter cover in the form of rye (Secale cereale L.) is proposed as a means to conserve …

CONTEXT Process-based models are increasingly used to explain and predict crop yields
and long-term changes in soil organic matter (SOM) and hence should be regularly …
