Bermudagrass management in the Southern Piedmont USA : I. Soil and surface residue carbon and sulfur

Improved forage management impacts on soil organic C and S depth distribution and surface residue accumulation could be large, but detailed temporal data are not available. A study evaluates the factorial combination of 3 levels of N fertilization and 4 levels of harvest strategy on soil bulk density, soil organic C, and total S, and surface residue C and S during the first 5 years of "Coastal" bermudagrass management.
