> We investigated at a site of no-tillage with weed mulch management (NWM). > Weed biomass, water stable aggregate (> 2 mm) and soil C increased with adopting NWM. > NWM increased soil C (60 g C m-2 yr-1) for 17 years, thus it is an effective method to sequester soil C. > C input as slashed weeds and litter were small (265-2317 g C m-2 yr-1) and corresponded to 2-11 % of C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
