| dc.description.abstract | A model is briefly described that integrates an environmental component that simulates crop yields and changes in soil quality and an economic component that calculates rotation scale costs and revenues based on yield and input data provided by the environmental component. The model is used to simulate crop yield, soil quality and economic performance of a number of alternative annual crop rotations over a 50 year period. This information is used to quantify the impact of alternative crop rotations on soil organic carbon and the economic value of on-site SOC to the rotations, with values ranging from $0.20 to $2.50/ton SOC/hectare/yr. | en_US |
