Microbial communities and their association with soil health indicators under row cash crop and cover crop diversification: a case study
We conclude that 4 years of crop rotation and diverse cover crops have strong but separate and season-dependent potentials to decrease fungal pathogens and increase AMF abundance, respectively. However, linkages between microbial communities and soil health are largely independent of crop diversification.
