| dc.description.abstract | Long term (10 to 25 years) rotation studies on the Canadian prairies have shown that conservation tillage and reduced fallow have, depending upon clay content and soil moisture deficits, sequestered from 0.3 to 0.7 Mg C ha-1yr-1 soil organic C (Liang et al., 1999a,b). However, since these studies were conducted on replicated and relative level research plots, it is questionable whether they reflect the reality of actual farm fields where landscapes and management practices often differ markedly from that on research plots. Therefore, the objective of this study was to quantify carbon sequestration as a function of conservation tillage on a range of typical soil-landscapes throughout Saskatchewan by comparing neighboring farmer’s fields with and without conservation tillage. | en_US |
