Abstract:

We evaluated the impact of climate and management strategies on yield, soil carbon and nitrate leaching in the Midwest US. More specifically, we examined the consequences of temperature, precipitation, and CO₂ changes on irrigated and rain fed continuous corn and corn-soybean rotations in the Midwest USA along with nutrient losses managed with no tillage and conventional tillage, and with and without cover crops. The model was tested against measured data.
