As land is converted from natural ecosystems to cropland, the properties of the soil are significantly affected. Moreover, as crop cultivation is intensified to a large scale, the methods used can be detrimental to the nutrient levels in the soil. This study suggests that long-term no-tillage is a useful strategy for improving fertility of soils with variable charge.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightConservation agricultureSoil managementSoil fertilitySoil qualitySustainable agricultureSoil organic matterTillageChronosequenceSoil analysisNo-tillSoil phCrop residuesOxisolsVariable chargeAcidityRoot depthCation exchange capacity (CEC)Field ScaleAbstractCopyright 2008 Elsevier B.V.
