Building Soil Organic Carbon With Plant Roots
Soil organic carbon is an essential piece of regenerating the health of grazing lands and requires a look at roots.
Regenerative Agriculture Is About Direction Over Perfection
For most agricultural enterprises, success and long-term viability ultimately hinges on soil health.
Peptide Research Could Help Plants Grow Better in Nutrient-Limited Environments
Research explores tiny compounds called peptides — keys to plant communication and potentially to a future with more efficient use of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients.
Sensing the Soil
The land is becoming less of a mystery with the help of technology.
Why Ecosystems and Their Management Are the Essence of Land Stewardship
The more we use systems thinking in land stewardship, the more we reduce unintended consequences of management decisions on soil health and ecosystem services.
Not All Rainfall Is Effective
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.
Understanding Soils With the Help of Sensors
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.
What Is High Stock Density Grazing?
High stock density grazing has intentional impacts on the soils, forages and ultimately livestock production.
5 Reasons Why Soil Biology Matters on the Farm
Success and long-term viability for most agricultural enterprises ultimately hinges on the health of their soil.
