| Abstract: | Key findings • Conventionally tilled cropping leads to increased bulk density (soil compaction) and decreased soil total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN), compared to native grass pastures. • Productive tropical grass pastures have the potential to restore soil TOC and TN after conventionally tilled cropping, though changes were limited to the surface soil in Vertosols. |
