SUSTAINABLE INTENSIFICATION AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE: COVER CROPS, SOIL IMPROVEMENT, AND DORUGHT

In managed agricultural systems, species can be chosen to ensure that plant mixtures contain functional traits that contribute to achieving agronomic and environmental goals. Moreover, many diversification practices, such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and perennials, have the potential to increase soil carbon and nitrogen content; enhance nutrient cycling; and improve soil structural properties that underpin water capture, storage, and drainage.
