Conservative agricultural management strategies pursue long-term ecological benefits through practices such as no-tillage, cover crop, and inherent soil properties management. Farmers, however, are often hesitant to adopt such practices due to lack of experience, initial expense, and concern for low crop productivity. Overcoming this barrier requires novel approaches, such as effectively managing the soil microbiome to attain high productivity at a low cost, especially in a semi-arid region. To study the potential of conservation agriculture, we investigated components of soil bacterial community and rhizobial diversity in long-term experimental cotton fields divided into conventional tillage monoculture systems...

While we collect and monitor soil temperatures within natural and managed ecosystems across the Southern High Plains (SHP), we do not have a clear understanding of how soil temperature parameters are linked to ecosystem services, soil health and sustainability under increasing climate variability and increasing drought severity. Understanding how management decisions will either create positive or negative feedback loops with respect to soil temperature dynamics may be critical for developing sound conservation and soil management practices. As much of the SHP is privately owned and is managed either under intensive row cropping systems, any drought mitigation efforts and practices that influence and promote soil...
