- Cover crop species influences soil fungal species richness and community structure (2024) · PLoS ONE · cited 20× · doi
The use of cover crops to improve soil health is a key component of sustainable agriculture but the impact of different cover crop species on soil microbial communities remains poorly understood. Previous studies on the effect of cover crops on soil fungal communities have yielded mixed results.

There is a need for further research on the context-specific factors that affect the ecosystem services provided by cover crops. The current study aims to address this gap by investigating the effects of different cover crop treatments on cash crop density and yield.
