This study investigated whether active C and biological N fixation differed between cover crop monoculture and mixture treatments. Since nitrogen is a limiting nutrient, we focused on BNF’s potential to increase N availability. Active C is the portion of sequestered belowground C that gets broken down and is available in the soil. This is vital for crop nutrient acquisition and is responsive to adjustments on a shorter time scale compared to stable nutrient pools.
