Soil texture, plant residue quality and aggregate protection determine carbon and nitrogen stabilization under reduced tillage in semiarid rainfed almond orchards

Reduced tillage combined with native/spontaneous cover crops are increasingly promoted as climate-smart practices to enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in dryland agriculture, yet the mechanisms controlling carbon and nitrogen (N) stabilization under semiarid Mediterranean...
