Effects of 24 Years of Conservation Tillage Systems on Soil Organic Carbon and Soil Productivity
Table 7
Use of pretillage treatment (1988) SOC values (sod) as baseline to determine the total SOC change in the first 12 years and during 24 years of tillage treatments. The 2000 SOC values for each plot were used as baseline to determine the total SOC content change during the last 12 years for the Grantsburg soil.
