Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect DIV rotation significantly increased cumulative NEE relative to CONV.
- Intervention effect DIV rotation significantly increased GPP relative to CONV.
- Intervention effect DIV rotation significantly increased ecosystem respiration relative to CONV.
- Intervention effect DIV rotation had a 15 % increase in NEE compared to CONV.
- Observation Corn and soybean fields in both rotations were annual carbon sources after accounting for grain carbon removal.
- Observation DIV winter wheat with cover crops was a carbon sink when only grain was removed.
- Observation DIV winter wheat with cover crops became a carbon source when straw and grain were removed.
- Intervention effect DIV rotation was a net GHG source relative to CONV with straw and grain removal.
- Intervention effect DIV and CONV rotations had similar net GHG emissions when only wheat grain was removed.
- Recommendation The authors call for long-term measurements to confirm the GHG trend.
