Soil properties as influenced by conventional (CV), organic (OR), and reduced-tillage (RT) management systems for crop and forage production one and four years after transition from continuous conventional corn.

†Number in parenthesis indicates standard error.‡SOC = soil organic carbon, STN = soil total nitrogen, DOC = dissolved organic carbon (g kg−1 soil) and Db = soil bulk density (g cm−3). Different lowercase letters within a column indicate significant difference among management systems within a year and different uppercase letters indicate significant difference among years within a management system in crop as well as forage production (p = 0.05). No letter within a column or row indicates no significant management system×year difference.
