Abstract
⺠Conventional tillage negatively affected soil aggregate stability. ⺠CA did not increase soil C content at 0-30 cm depth after 11 cropping seasons. ⺠CA did not increase physical C protection in soil aggregate fractions. ⺠Reduced tillage without residue retention suppressed soybean yields. ⺠Future research should establish critical minimum residue retention levels.
