1. Nitrogen Fertilization and Long-term No-tillage Impacts on Soil Properties and Deep Soil C Storage Under IrrigationThe net soil greenhouse gas mitigation potential of conservation agricultural management practices is strongly influenced by the direction and magnitude of soil organic C (SOC) change in deep soil layers (>6”). Deep SOC is typically old, highly processed, and consists of microbial products and root exudates associated with clay and other minerals. However, it can be susceptible to decomposition and priming from the addition of new, labile organic C. We examined long-term soil C dynamics... C. Stewart, D. Manter, J. Delgado, S. Del grosso, F.

2. Tillage and Nitrogen Management for Irrigated Sugarbeet Production in Eastern MontanaSugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an important cash crop in the Lower Yellowstone River region. Nitrogen management is very critical while farmers are transitioning sugar beet production from conventional tillage to no-till system. The objectives of this study were to: (i) evaluate the effects of fertilizer-N rate and application timing on sugar beet root yield, sugar content, and quality under conventional and no-till managements, (ii) determine N uptake and N use efficiency (NUE)...

3. Legacy Impacts of Cattle Grazing on Soil N2O and CH4 Fluxes in Shortgrass SteppeGrazing cattle directly emit CH4 from enteric fermentation and contribute to soil N gas emissions related to nitrogen and organic matter additions from urine and manure deposits. Grazed soils can be sources or sinks of CH4, depending on moisture levels and localized manure patches. N2O emissions are related to availability of water as well as mineral N and labile C substrates in soil. Previously, we observed higher N2O and NH3 losses from fresh patches of urine and manure compared to... S. Del grosso, J. Derner, J. Delgado |
