Accelerating soil water recovery in alfalfa-converted cropland: Critical roles of fallow season mulch, crop selection, and precipitation
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) crops rotation has been proposed as a sustainable strategy for dryland farming. However, limited understanding of the spatio-temporal dynamics of deep soil water recovery following alfalfa conversion constrains broader adoption of this practice. This study investigates s...
