Corn stover harvest reduces soil CO2 fluxes but increases overall C losses

Abstract Harvesting corn (Zea mays L.) stover for use as bioenergy feedstock may provide short‐term economic benefits and perhaps improve grain yield in continuous corn systems, but excessive stover removal may lead to long‐term depletion of soil C stocks. To better quantify the impacts of stover ha...
