Rotational Grazing Can Build Soil Carbon, but Drought Changes the Story
A decade-long grazing study shows that management can improve soil carbon and nutrient dynamics, but drought and year-to-year weather remain major drivers of soil health.

A decade-long grazing study shows that management can improve soil carbon and nutrient dynamics, but drought and year-to-year weather remain major drivers of soil health.
Drainage can increase some soil health indicators while reducing pasture productivity, showing why higher values are not always better.
Summer cover crops increased soil organic matter and labile carbon pools in sandy subtropical vegetable soils.
Diversified crop and livestock systems can rebuild soil physical function in sandy soils, especially below the surface.
Statewide soil health data reveal how grazing management influences soil function, productivity, and sustainability in Florida ranchlands.
