Temporal soil bacterial community responses to cropping systems and crop identity
Temporal soil bacterial community responses to cropping systems and crop identity in dryland agroecosystems of the Northern Great Plains. We evaluated soil microbial community responses to contrasting cropping systems at the Montana State University Fort Ellis Research and Teaching Center in Bozeman, MT. The experimental design consisted of a five-year crop rotation under three different management systems: chemical inputs with no-tillage, a USDA-certified organic system with tillage, and a USDA-certified organic system with targeted sheep grazing for cover crop termination and weed management.
