Soil organic carbon is an essential piece of regenerating the health of grazing lands and requires a look at roots.
For most agricultural enterprises, success and long-term viability ultimately hinges on soil health.
Research explores tiny compounds called peptides — keys to plant communication and potentially to a future with more efficient use of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients.
The land is becoming less of a mystery with the help of technology.
The more we use systems thinking in land stewardship, the more we reduce unintended consequences of management decisions on soil health and ecosystem services.
Generally speaking, a 1% increase in organic matter corresponds to an increase in soil water-holding capacity by about 20,000 gallons of water per acre.
Noble researchers are using sensors to gain a better understanding of the effects of tillage and cover crops on soil moisture, temperature, erosion and organic carbon.
High stock density grazing has intentional impacts on the soils, forages and ultimately livestock production.
Success and long-term viability for most agricultural enterprises ultimately hinges on the health of their soil.
