Short-term effects of conversion to no-tillage on respiration and chemical - physical properties of the soil University of Antwerp
No-tillage (NT) is considered an agricultural practice to preserve soil organic carbon (C), however large uncertainties still affect land-use management measures for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from agricultural soil. Short-term changes during the transition between conventional tillage (CT) and NT systems have to be further investigated. In this study, measurements of both actual CO2 fluxes in field and microbial mineralization ...
