Descripción
Decreasing physical quality of Mollisols in the Argentinean Pampas region is observed due to simplified crop rotations. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of cover cropping management on soil water capture, transport, and storage as compared with different crop rotations with bare fallow in two different and representative Mollisols of the Argentinean Pampas region (one Typic Argiudoll [TA] and one Typic Hapludoll [TH]).Water capture, transport, and storage processes were assessed through soil sorptivity, infiltration tests at different pressures heads, and soil water retention curve determination. In addition, aggregate stability and soil organic carbon (SOC) were determined and the relationship between studied variables and processes was evaluated. It was observed that soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] monocultures jeopardize Mollisols conservation, decreasing water capture and transport and SOC content. The inclusion of cover cropping management increased the soil water transport in the TA and water capture in the TH, as compared with bare fallow rotations. In this sense, our results show that cover cropping could be a suitable management in order to recover degraded soils due to simplified crop rotations in Mollisols from the Argentina Pampas region.
