Soil carbon sequestration and biological health under pecan orchards of varying ages

Soil organic carbon in 15- to 90-cm depth was 99%–190% greater at 20-year-old orchards than adjacent cotton fields. Potentially mineralizable carbon in 20-year-old orchards was 83%–103% greater...

It was great to see this poster on grass buffers in center-pivot croplands. Sorry for the grainy photo, Sundar! Thanks for presenting this research. We are always inspired by research coming from the lab group of ARID team member @NMSUGhimire .

PUBLICATION ALERT! Our recent article showed cover cropping potential to sequester carbon in semiarid irrigated forage systems. Four years of cover cropping resulted in 7–22% greater soil organic C storage at 0–80 cm profile than the control. authors.elsevier.com/c/1iX1I…

Thank you @NMSUVPR, in this multi-state project we will be working on crop breeding and management for adaptation to climate extremes and #ClimateSmart soil management strategies. Also engage farmers and train students/postdocs on effective adaptation strategies for dry regions.

Happy world soil day! This year’s slogan is “soil and water, a source of life”. This time I tried a few AI generated pictures of soil health education/training, soil water management, and my wheat sorghum field @NMSUaes , @ASA_CSSA_SSSA, @NMSU_Carbon, embracing the change.
