Crop rotational diversity increases disease suppressive capacity of soil microbiomes (2018, background): “Soil properties like total C, total N, pH, bulk density, and porosity have all been shown to increase with cover crops (Bullock 1992, Liebman and Dyck 1993, Tilman et al. 2002, McDaniel et al. 2014b, Tiemann et al. 2015).”

Soil microbial communities in cucumber monoculture and rotation systems and their feedback effects on cucumber seedling growth (2017, background): “Alternative management practices, such as crop rotation and intercropping, which can increase spatial and temporal plant diversity, have the potential to maintain yields while minimize the need for external inputs (Cook 2006; Zhou et al. 2011; Tiemann et al. 2015).”
