Project objectives are to quantify soil ecosystem services of cover crops and determine whether or not cover crops improve negative effects of crop residue removal for livestock or biofuel on soil services in rain-fed and irrigated croplands in Nebraska. Humberto Blanco, professor of agronomy and horticulture, is in the third year of leading the project “Enhancing Soil Ecosystem Services with Cover Crops.” Funding is provided by the Nebraska Environmental Trust.
