Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Silphium had greatest root mass loss.
- Observation Intermediate wheatgrass had greatest root carbon loss.
- Mechanism Low root mass, area and volume likely enhanced decomposition of silphium and intermediate wheatgrass.
- Intervention effect Poultry litter plots had greater C, N and P mineralization.
- Observation Soil organic carbon stocks were mostly similar across species and amendments.
- Intervention effect Silphium with poultry litter had 27% to 50% greater soil organic carbon stocks after four years.
- Association Root chemistry and morphology primarily affected decomposition rates.
- Association Soil moisture and temperature drove soil carbon dioxide efflux.
