- Conventionally tilled and permanent raised beds with different crop residue management: Effects on soil C and N dynamicsGovaerts, Bram; Sayre, Ken D.; Ceballos-Ramirez, J. M.; Luna-Guido, M. L.; Limon-Ortega, A.; Deckers, Jozef; Dendooven, L. (2006)This article compares levels of soil carbon and soil nitrogen in conventionally tilled and conservation agriculture production systems in Mexico. It is found that conservation agriculture systems have much higher carbon and nitrogen levels over time.
- Influence of tillage, residue management, and crop rotation on soil microbial biomass and catabolic diversityGovaerts, Bram; Mezzalama, M.; Unno, Y.; Sayre, Ken D.; Luna-Guido, M. L.; Vanherck, K.; Dendooven, L.; Deckers, Jozef (Elsevier, B.V., 2007)This article examines the impact of no till systems in a 12 year trial in the central highlands of Mexico, specifically focusing on effects on microbial biomass and catabolic diversity in rainfed smallholder agricultural systems. A significant finding of the study is that zero till without residue retention is an unsustainable production practice.
