Abstract:Leaching of nitrate (NO3−)—a reactive nitrogen form with impacts on ecosystem health—increases during the non-growing season (NGS) of agricultural soils under cold climates. Cover crops are effective at reducing NGS NO3− leaching, but this benefit may be altered with less snow cover inducing more soil freezing under warmer winters. Our objective was to quantify the effect of winter warming on NO3− leaching from cover crops for a loamy sand (LS) and a silt loam (SIL) soil. This research was conducted over 2 yea… Show more
