Data from: 42 years of no-tillage and cover cropping improved soil oxygen availability and resilience

Healthy soil air-water balance is critical for crop growth. Conservation agricultural practices improve soil physical properties to influence soil oxygen availability. We evaluated the impact of 42 years of hairy vetch (HV) cover cropping (CC) and no-tillage (NT) on soil oxygen dynamics during a cotton growing season experiencing multiple intensive rain events in silt loam soil. HV and NT treatments exhibited higher growing season soil oxygen availability (p p
