Impacts of Deficit Irrigation on Carbon Sequestration and Soil Physical Properties under No-Till

Deficit irrigation is an important strategy to manage water, but its impacts on soil C sequestration and physical properties have not been well documented. We assessed changes in soil organic C (SOC) and soil inorganic C (SIC) concentrations and selected soil physical properties at two no-till exper...

Description
Summary:Deficit irrigation is an important strategy to manage water, but its impacts on soil C sequestration and physical properties have not been well documented. We assessed changes in soil organic C (SOC) and soil inorganic C (SIC) concentrations and selected soil physical properties at two no-till experiments on Ulysses silt loam (a fine-silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Aridic Haplustoll) with
