“…Were it so, this would offer the potential that such mixtures could be adopted in circumstances where thorough exploration of the soil resource is required. The species prescribed for this study are commonly adopted as cover crops in arable rotations [ 22 , 42 , 43 ], and our study provides evidence as to why tillage radish and black oats in particular are likely effective species in this role where there is soil compaction. It also suggests that a mixture of the three might be more potent, particularly in terms of increasing the porosity of a soil via complementary penetrating and proliferating growth modes.…”

“…Besides, the roots promote the approximation and cohesion between the solid particles of the soil as it exerts biophysical pressures (axial and radial), and also by the drying in the adjacent region to the roots, resulting in a soil with a higher flocculation state (Gardner et al, 1999). Under these conditions, the proportion of macroaggregates will be higher than of microaggregates, consequently increasing macroporosity (Dexter, 1988) and reducing the compaction (Abdollahi et al, 2014). Hubbard et al (2013) related that when sunn hemp was included in the rotation as a late summer cover crop, it added significantly more C to the soil than cropping systems with fallow in this period, improving soil physical proprieties.…”

“…In terrestrial systems, soil is the fundamental base which supports vegetation growth (van Breemen 1993), but plants also affect the nature of their belowground habitat both directly and indirectly. In agricultural systems, the use of cover crops is increasing (Storr et al 2019) in order to increase the sequestration of carbon (Reicosky and Forcella 1998;Scott et al 2017), soil macroporosity (Abdollahi et al 2014;Bodner et al 2014;Burr-Hersey et al 2017;Cercioglu et al 2018) and decrease soil erosion (Reicosky and Forcella 1998;Storr et al 2019). Furthermore, cover crops have an impact on the biota of the soil, increasing microbial diversity and richness (Patkowska and Konopiński 2013;Fernandez et al 2016) and the abundance of saprophytic and mycorrhizal fungi (Six et al 2006;Duchene et al 2017;Finney et al 2017).…”
