This project facilitated the implementation of a multiyear project to understand how climate variability and management practices influence soil microbial and nutrient dynamics within a no-till cotton production system with stubble management. Three fields at the R.N. Hooper farm in Petersburgh, TX were used for this project and continue to be monitored with funds from Cotton Inc. The three fields are center-pivot irrigated to compensate for rainfall variability as needed and depending upon water availability. The three fields were planted into the following crops for 2017 : Field 1 – corn following cotton; Field 2 – cotton following corn, and Field 3 – Wheat/mixed summer cover following wheat. The sizes of the...

Precipitation amounts, and frequencies are major regulators of soil heat-load profiles as the interval between rainfall events allows for increased heat storage during cloudless days. The extreme drought of 2011 and the subsequent Flash Drought that occurred in summer, 2012, developed in part due to soil temperature dynamics across the landscape of the Southern High Plains. For both agroecosystems and natural landscapes within the South-Central Region, soil temperature has a major role in determining the success of annual cropping systems, the ability of perennial plants to either establish or maintain themselves and the ability of the soil bacteria and fungi to carry out important decomposition and nutrient cycling,...
