Integrating winter legume cover crops in temperate rice cropping systems for enhancing carbon and nitrogen inputs without increasing GHG emissions

Transitioning to low-input cropping systems while enhancing soil fertility and limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a major challenge for temperate rice cultivation. In northern Italy, cultivating a winter leguminous cover crop (CC) in conventional monocropped rice systems may represent an important source of o...
