- Intervention effect Cover cropping increased soil microbial biomass nitrogen by 184%.
- Intervention effect Cover cropping enhanced soil bacterial diversity and richness.
- Observation Bacterial community composition differed significantly among treatments.
- Intervention effect Cover cropping lowered the bacterial network positive-to-negative correlation ratio and complexity.
