MANURE LEGACY IMPACTS ON THE SOIL MICROBIOME UNDER CORN-ALFALFA ROTATION

Objective

The objectives of this work are to determine: 1) the impacts of dairy manure applications on soil microbial community structure and yield in forage cropping systems, and 2) the relationships between soil microbial community structure, nutrient-cycling functions, and soil edaphic characteristics in the context of forage-cropped agricultural soils.
