Effect of cover crops on the soil microbial biodiversity of an olive trees field in Spain

The international LivinGro initiative was implemented in an olive orchard in Valladolid, Spain. A comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the impact of implementing multifunctional cover crops on microbial biodiversity and soil health in the inter-row area. The current work spanned a five-month period, with data collected at two sampling intervals (September 2021 and January 2022).
