- Intervention effect Maize aboveground biomass was higher in sandy than clay soil.
- Intervention effect Maize belowground biomass was higher in sandy than clay soil.
- Intervention effect In clay soil, preceding cover crops increased or did not change maize belowground productivity relative to bare soil.
- Intervention effect In sandy soil, non-leguminous cover crop litter decreased maize aboveground productivity.
- Intervention effect In sandy soil, any preceding cover crop decreased maize root biomass.
- Intervention effect Leguminous litter increased maize nitrogen uptake in both soil types.
- Intervention effect Most selected cover crops did not substantially improve maize phosphorus uptake under high soil phosphorus availability.
- Intervention effect Field pea was the exception among cover crops for improving maize phosphorus uptake.
- Intervention effect Leguminous cover crops improved maize nitrogen status especially at low nitrogen fertilization rates.
