Long-term tillage effect on with-in season variations in soil conditions and respiration from dryland winter wheat and soybean cropping systems

Abstract Soil respiration from agricultural soils is a major anthropogenic source of CO2 to the atmosphere. With-in season emission of soil CO2 from croplands are affected by changes in weather, tillage, plant row spacing, and plant growth stage. Tillage involves physical turning of soils which acce...
