Soil Quality Attribute Time Paths: Optimal Levels and Values

Soil Quality Attribute Time Paths: Optimal Levels and Values

We develop a dynamic soil quality model to evaluate optimal cropping systems in the northern Great Plains. Modeling soil quality attributes is feasible, and attribute model results apply to a wide range of soils. A crop production system with continuous spring wheat and direct planting is the most p...
