Integrated crop-livestock effects on soil carbon and nitrogen in a semiarid region (2022)

SUMMARY:
“Understanding ICL management effects on the status and trajectory of SOC and TN stocks is important to the design and deployment of agricultural practices that maintain key soil functions and contribute to agricultural sustainabil- ity. However, quantification of SOC and TN stocks in ICL systems requires a commitment to decadal-scale research under semiarid conditions, underscoring the importance of long-term experiments. Fifteen years of residue treat- ment effects were evaluated for their effect on SOC and TN stocks at select depths and associated soil masses in a long- term study in the northern Great Plains of North Amer- ica. Results found grazed crop residue and crop residue retained without grazing had greater SOC and TN in near- surface depths than where crop residue had been mechan- ically removed. Over time, SOC increased significantly where crop residue was grazed or not removed by mechan- ical means. Under the semiarid conditions of this study, changes in SOC and TN underscored the importance of residue retention and livestock grazing in ICL systems.”

Crop–livestock integration enhanced soil aggregate-associated carbon and nitrogen, and phospholipid fatty acid

“Integrated crop–livestock (ICL) production enhances diversification and provides ecosystem benefits by improving nutrient cycling and energy efficiency, thus, increasing overall farm productivity…It is concluded that ICL and NE systems are sustainable prospects in enhancing overall soil health. Integrating crop and livestock improved physicochemical and microbial properties compared to the traditional corn–soybean system.”

Integrated crop–livestock (ICL) production enhances diversification and provides ecosystem benefits by improving nutrient cycling and energy efficiency, thus, increasing overall farm productivity. However, a detailed study is needed to understand the influence of crop diversification and grazing a...

We are honored to partner with “Sterile-Bright” - the world’s most powerful viral sanitization system -which uses three different complimentary anti-viral technologies: UV-C, Vacuum-UV, and Ozone, to kill 99.999% of all pathogens including prions, bacteria, and viruses. Way more effective that’s UV-C alone. No line-of-sight-only “shadow” failure.

“The sum is not to fund green technologies or finance a moonshot solution to emissions, but to use simple, age-old practices to lock millions of tons of carbon back into an overlooked and over-exploited resource: the soil. ‘We have lost the biological function of soils. We have got to reverse that,’ said Barron J. Orr, lead scientist for the UN Convention to Combat Desertification. ‘If we do it, we are turning the land into the big part of the solution for climate change.’

$300 billion. That’s the money needed to stop the rise in greenhouse gases and buy up to 20 years of time to fix global warming, according to United Nations climate scientists. It’s the gross domestic product of Chile, or the world’s military spending every 60 days.
