- Intervention effect Ground cover rice production increased soil organic carbon stocks relative to paddy fields.
- Intervention effect Ground cover rice production increased soil nitrogen stocks.
- Intervention effect Soil physical and chemical properties mostly did not differ between production systems.
- Intervention effect Soil bulk density was an exception to the otherwise unchanged soil properties.
- Intervention effect Ground cover rice production lowered soil organic carbon mineralization potential.
- Intervention effect Ground cover rice production lowered soil δ15N.
- Intervention effect Ground cover rice production lowered leaf δ15N.
